A two-piece tire assembly has a removable tread beltfor installing about the circumference of a tire carcass. The tread belt has at least a pair of belt layers, and one layer comprising inextensible reinforcing cables inclined at substantially zero degrees relative to the circumferential direction of the tire assembly. The cables in zero degree ply have a tensile breaking load of at least 50,000 N.

Two piece tire with improved tire tread belt

A two-piece tire assembly has a removable tread belt 12 for installing about the circumference of a tire carcass 14. The tread belt has at least a pair of belt layers, and one layer comprising inextensible reinforcing cables inclined at substantially zero degrees relative to the circumferential direction of the tire assembly. The cables in zero degree ply have a tensile breaking load of at least 27500 N.

A two-piece tire assembly has a removable tread beltfor installing about the circumference of a tire carcass. The tread belt has a pair of lateral ends each axially extending beyond the inflated unloaded carcassat the circumferential surface by a distance of at least 4% of the width as measured at the tread beltand carcassinterface. The carcasshas an abrasion resistant rubber layerA at the tread belt interface. The tread beltalso has the abrasion resistance tread compoundB at the carcassinterface.
