- a plurality of stiffening rods extending transversally to a longitudinal direction of the track and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the track;
- and
- a reinforcement embedded between the inner surface of the carcass and the ground-engaging outer surface of the carcass;
- wherein:
- the stiffening rods are disposed between the reinforcement and the inner surface of the carcass;
- the reinforcement comprises segments underneath respective ones of the traction projections;
