Abstract
A pneumatic tire has a pair of axially-spaced annular tensile members forming a part of each bead. One or more continuous carcass plies extend between the annular tensile members and have lateral edge portions which are folded axially and radially outwardly around one of the annular tensile members. An air-impermeable liner is disposed axially and radially inwardly of the carcass plies. A layer of air-permeable rubber extends from a point axially inward and radially outward of one of the annular tensile members and is folded axially and radially outwardly around one of the annular tensile members such that the layer of air-permeable rubber abuts a rim flange when the tire is mounted. An air-impermeable gum strip is interposed between the layer of air-permeable rubber and the carcass plies such that the gum strip extends from a point radially outward and axially inward of one of the annular tensile members to a point radially beneath such annular tensile member.
