Abstract
A pneumatic vehicle tire having a strength member ply comprising steel monofilaments having a cross-sectional area of 98 mmto 125 mmper meter of strength member ply, the steel has a carbon content of at least 0.86% by weight. To improve rolling resistance the monofilaments have a brass coating having a copper content of 61% by weight to 70% by weight and a zinc content of 30% by weight to 39% by weight, in that the monofilaments have a linear density of 92 g/100 m to 105 g/100 m, and the monofilaments each have a tensile density Td of 34 MPa/(g/100 m) to 39 MPa/(g/100 m). The strength member ply has an areal strength AS of 109 Nmmto 166 Nmm, and the rubber material has a breaking elongation of 300% to 450%.
