Abstract

A tire for a two-wheeled vehicle includes a carcass of toric form having a high transverse curvature, a tread band, and a circumferentially-inextens-ible belt structure. The belt structure is interposed between the carcass and the tread band, and includes reinforcing elements. Relative to an equatorial plane of the tire, the reinforcing elements may be randomly oriented, substantially oriented in an axial direction, or substantially oriented in an inclined direction. The belt structure further includes a radially-external layer provided with a plurality of cord coils disposed at a substantially-zero angle relative to the equatorial plane of the tire. The cord coils are positioned in axial side-by-side relationship and extend from one axial extremity of the belt structure to an opposite axial extremity. A density of the cord coils grows from the equatorial plane of the tire to the axial extremities of the belt structure.
