Abstract
A tire is provided that includes a crown with a mid-plane S, two sidewalls, a first bead, of diameter Φ, intended to be positioned on the outboard side of a vehicle, and a second bead, of diameter Φ, intended to be positioned on the inboard side of a vehicle, such that Φ>Φ. When the tire is mounted on its working rim and inflated to its nominal pressure, the mid-plane S of the crown is axially offset towards the first bead relative to a mid-plane B of the beads by a positive or zero distance D.
