Abstract
A method of forming a belt structure for a tire includes forming at least one laying layer of elastomer material on an outer surface of a support mandrel and helically winding up at least one continuous bare cord on the at least one laying layer to form a plurality of coils. The at least one laying layer is formed by laying down at least one first continuous strip element of elastomer material in a form of helical coils. The helical coils of the at least one first strip element are axially distributed on an outer surface of the support mandrel. The support mandrel is conformed in shape to an outer surface of a carcass structure of the tire. The coils of the at least one cord are disposed axially in side-by-side relationship. The tire may be a tire for a motorcycle.
