Abstract
A tire, in particular an elastomeric pneumatic tire, reinforced by lengths of a monofilament elongate composite element of long glass fibers impregnated in a thermoset resin having a glass transition temperature Tg greater than 130° C., in which the fibers are all parallel to each other, the elongate composite element having, under a bending stress an elastic deformation in compression of at least 2%, in flexion a breaking stress in compression greater than the breaking stress in extension.
