Mass asymmetric tire

A tire intended to be mounted on a mounting rim, the tire comprising a summit surrounded on both sides by side portions terminating in beads provided to cooperate with the mounting rim, the tire comprising at least one carcass reinforcement extending in the summit and the side portions and anchored at its two ends in the beads, the at least one carcass reinforcement being surmounted radially on the outside by a summit reinforcement composed of a plurality of reinforcing plies, the summit reinforcement being surmounted radially on the outside by a tread intended to come into contact with ground during rolling,

• when the tire being mounted onto its standard mounting rim and inflated with its nominal pressure, each the side portion having three points;
• an upper side point defined as a point on radially outermost carcass reinforcement where a virtual line perpendicular to said carcass reinforcement extending from a point on an outline of the tire intersecting with a virtual horizontal line extending from axial extremity of a widest reinforcing ply;
• a bottom side point defined as a point on radially outermost carcass reinforcement where a virtual line perpendicular to said carcass reinforcement extending from a point on an outline of the tire intersecting with a virtual horizontal line touching to radially outermost of a rim flange;
• an intermediate side point defined as a point on radially outermost carcass reinforcement where a length from the bottom side point along said carcass reinforcement being 60% of a length between the upper side point and the bottom side point along said carcass reinforcement,
• each the side portion comprising;
• an upper side portion defined as a portion of the side portion outside of the radially outermost carcass reinforcement delimited by a virtual line passing through the upper side point and by a virtual line passing through the intermediate side point;
• a bottom side portion defined as a portion of the side portion outside of the radially outermost carcass reinforcement delimited by a virtual line passing through the bottom side point and by the virtual line passing through the intermediate side point,
• wherein a weight of the bottom side portion on one side portion is at least 15% lighter than a weight of the bottom side portion on another side portion, and
• wherein the tire has intended mounting side (inside-outside), and in that the lighter bottom side portion locates inside of the intended mounting side, and in that a weight of the upper side portion without the lighter bottom side portion is lighter than a weight of the upper side portion provided with the lighter bottom side portion.
