Abstract
A tire for a motorized two-wheeled vehicle, comprising a carcass-type reinforcing structure formed of at least two layers of reinforcing elements, and comprising underneath the tread a crown reinforcement structure comprising at least one layer of reinforcing elements. At least the tread surface comprises a first polymeric compound extending in at least the region of the equatorial plane and at least one second polymeric compound having physicochemical properties different from those of said first polymeric compound, the reinforcing elements of said two or more layers forming the carcass-type reinforcing structure forming angles with the circumferential direction of between 70° and 85° and the distance between the reinforcing elements of each of said two or more layers forming the carcass-type reinforcing structure being not more than 0.5 mm across at least 60% of the axial width of at least one region composed of the second polymeric compound.
