This beadincludes an anchoring device formed from at least one circumferential bead reinforcing elementand from a wedge-shaped profiled elementmade of a rubber compound. A radial carcass reinforcementis anchored in each bead to the circumferential bead reinforcing element, this tire being characterized in that the outwardly inclined bead seatincludes at least one circumferentially continuous ribmaking at least one complete revolution, said at least one ribbeing located axially to the outside of a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tire and axially tangential to the outside of the circumferential bead reinforcing elementin order to create a continuous line of contact pressure equal to or greater than the inflation pressure of the tire.
