The steel cords each having the same number of steel filaments, are arranged parallel to one another and at at least substantially equal distances apart within each belt ply, have rubber coating layers on both sides, the layer thicknesses of which in total are 0.10 mm to 2.00 mm, when viewed in cross section are flattened open steel cords composed of four to six steel filaments periodically twisted together, at least two of which, when viewed in cross section, are flat-deformed, have a first larger diameter and a second smaller diameter perpendicular thereto, the ratio of which is between 1.10 and 3.00, and are embedded in the belt ply with their first, larger diameter lying largely flat and are at largely equal clear distances from one another, which are 0.10 mm to 1.00 mm.
