Abstract
A vehicle tyre with an asymmetric internal structure and external profile relative to its middle line plane. When mounted on a rim and installed with a camber angle, the rotating tyre generates lateral forces during straight-line running: a camber force from the wheel's inclination, a structural force from the asymmetric internal construction, and a conicity force from the asymmetric external profile. The conicity force opposes the camber force direction, and its magnitude remains below the structural force magnitude. This configuration enables control of the resulting lateral force while reducing rolling resistance during straight-line operation.
