Abstract

A tire for a two-wheeled motorized vehicle includes a carcass-type reinforcement structure, having reinforcement elements anchored on each side to a bead. Each bead extends radially by a sidewall, which meets up radially with a tread. Under the tread is a crown reinforcement structure including at least one working layer of working reinforcement elements, and a layer of circumferentially oriented reinforcement elements disposed radially to the outside of the carcass-type reinforcement structure. Over the profile of the tire in a radial plane, radially to the outside of the two points of tangency of the curvilinear abscissa of the carcass-type reinforcement structure with perpendiculars to the axis of rotation, at least one layer of working reinforcement elements is at least partially radially to the inside of the part of the carcass-type reinforcement structure radially to the outside of the two points of tangency.
