Abstract

Disclosed is a belted tire for vehicles, which comprises a toroidally curved body of elastic material with a tread surface at the outer periphery and a circumferentially extending annular belt construction which is embedded as an insert in the elastic material of the body in the region of the tread surface and which comprises two parts, namely a circumferential belt for circumferential stiffness and a transverse belt for transverse stiffness. The circumferential belt has a number of annular strength supports which are arranged in laterally spaced juxtaposed relationship in at least one plane and which extend in the circumferential direction of the body, and the transverse belt has at least one transverse bracing strength support which extends approximately over the width of the tread surface and which is embedded in the elastic material in parallel relationship and at a spacing from the circumferentially extending strength supports of the circumferential belt. The transverse belt is stretchable in the circumferential direction of the tire at least as much as the strength supports of the circumferential belt.
