Abstract
A tire having a crown reinforcement formed of at least two working crown plies (32, 34) having axial widths L32, L34 greater than the width L33 of an additional reinforcement (33) of inextensible, substantially radial reinforcement elements, which reinforcement is arranged radially between said plies (32, 34) and is axially composed of three parts, a central part (33′) in the form of a ply formed of inextensible, substantially radial reinforcement elements and two lateral parts in the form of strips (33″), each formed of circumferential reinforcement elements, the modulus of elasticity upon traction per unit of width of a lateral strip being at most equal to the modulus of elasticity upon traction, measured under the same conditions, of the most extensible working ply.
