Abstract:

A pneumatic tire for use on a vehicle includes a pair of beads, a pair of opposing sidewalls, and a tread. Sidewall plies form portions of respective sidewalls. The plies extend around respective beads to form respective inside turn-ups. Central plies extend between and overlap the sidewall plies. The overlap of the plies forms overlap regions proximate respective shoulders sized to protect the tire from penetration by road debris during use of the tire. The tire may be belt-less. A tire set includes tires differing in section width and/or section height. At least one of the sidewall plies in the set is substantially the same width as the corresponding sidewall ply in another tire in the set. A method of making tires of different section width and/or section height includes using a source of plies used for supplying at least one of the plies in each tire in the set.
