An airplane tire with radial carcass reinforcement (3) comprising at least one ply of turned-up textile cords (3A, 3B, 3C), wound around an axially inner bead ring (T.sub.2) extending axially from the inside to the outside in order to form an axially outer turn-up (30A, 30B, 30C), at least one ply (3D, 3E) of textile cords wound around an axially outer bead ring T.sub.1 extending from the inside to the outside to form a turn-up (30D, 30E), characterized by the fact that the turn-up (30A) of the axially innermost ply (3A) is separated, over a certain radial portion, from the carcass ply (3D) by a profiled member (4) of rubber mix in crescent shape, the maximum thickness e.sub.4 of which is at least equal to 0.5 times the total thickness t of the turn-ups (30A, 30B, 30C) of carcass plies (3A, 3B, 3C) turned-up around the axially inner bead ring T.sub.2.
