Abstract
A radial tire for a four wheeled vehicle comprising a reinforced carcass ply extending between two bead regions through sidewall regions to a tread region and a reinforcing breaker disposed in the tread region extending circumferentially around the tire radially outside the carcass ply wherein the tread region is substantially curved in cross-section and has a camber value C/L of between 0.25 to 0.75. The breaker includes at least two plies of reinforcing fabric, a narrower breaker ply which is radially innermost and a wider breaker ply which is radially outermost, and each of the breaker plies except the outermost ply has adjacent to each of its lateral edges a circumferentially extending support strip which extends laterally outward from the edge of the breaker ply to at least the lateral position of the edge of the widest breaker ply.
