A pneumatic tire includes: a body ply partially collapsed onto itself and therefore having two lateral flaps, in each of which an edge of the body ply rests against an intermediate portion of the body ply itself; two annular beads, each of which is surrounded by the body ply and comprises a bead core and a bead filler; an annular tread; a pair of sidewalls arranged axially externally to the body ply and extending radially inward from the tread; a pair of abrasion gum strips arranged at the beads axially externally to the body ply, and extending radially inward from the sidewalls; and a transponder axially arranged in an interior of one of the two flaps and located radially more to the inside of the edge of the body ply, wherein a radial distance greater than 7 mm is provided between the transponder and the edge of the body ply.

Pneumatic tire equipped with a transponder

Pneumatic tyre having a toroidal carcass, which has a body ply that is partially folded onto itself and therefore having two lateral flaps; two annular beads, each of which is surrounded by the body ply and has a bead core and a bead filler; an annular tread; a pair of sidewalls; a pair of abrasion gum strips; an innerliner which is impermeable to air and is arranged within the body ply; and a transponder which is arranged between the body ply and the innerliner at a flap of the body ply and is arranged at a distance of less than 7 mm from an edge of the body ply.
