Abstract
A tire having a crown reinforcement formed of at least two working crown layers having unequal axial widths, a layer C of rubber mixture being positioned between at least the ends of the said at least two working crown layers, and the crown reinforcement having at least one layer of circumferential reinforcing elements positioned radially between two working crown layers. The distance d between the end of the axially narrowest working layer and the working layer separated from the axially narrowest working layer by the layer C of rubber mixture is such that 1.1ø<d<2.2ø, ø being the diameter of the reinforcing elements of the said at least one layer of circumferential reinforcing elements, and, in a meridian plane, the thickness of the layer C of rubber mixture is substantially uniform.
