Tire made conductive by arranging a localized conductive strip

A tire intended to be mounted on a wheel and to bear a load, the tire comprising:

• a crown zone comprising a crown reinforcement surmounted radially on the outside by a tread, the tread having an external tread surface intended to come into contact with a roadway, the tread being formed from at least one material that is not a conductor of electricity and further comprising a conducting insert molded into the tread over its entire circumference, thus forming an integral part of the tread, the conducting insert passing through the entire thickness of the tread at the equatorial plane of the tread between the tread surface and a radially innermost surface of the tread, and the crown reinforcement comprising a plurality of layers superposed on one another;
• two beads intended to provide contact between the wheel and the tire, a part of the beads that is intended to be in contact with the wheel being a conductor of electricity;
• sidewalls providing a connection between the crown zone and the beads, the sidewalls being a conductor of electricity;
• and
• at least one conducting strip of a thickness at most equal to 2 mm made from a material of rubbery nature which is a conductor of electricity and positioned between the tread and the crown reinforcement, each strip having an axial width that is at most coextensive with the axial extent of the crown reinforcement so as to create a flow path for electric charge between the conducting insert molded into the tread and the beads via the sidewalls,
• wherein each layer of the crown reinforcement is wound and comprises two ends in the circumferential direction, the two ends being joined together in an abutment region,
• wherein the tread is wound and comprises two ends in the circumferential direction, the two ends being mechanically joined together by an oblique weld region formed in the thickness of the tread, the tread weld region being circumferentially offset by an angle of 180 degrees with respect to the region at which the radially outermost layer of the crown reinforcement is butted together,
• wherein one of the at least one conducting strip is circumferentially located in such a way as to be positioned at equal angular distances between the tread weld region and the region at which the radially outermost crown reinforcing layer is butted together, the tread weld region and the region at which the radially outermost crown reinforcing layer is butted together being diametrically opposite, and
• wherein the at least one conducting strip has a circumferential width equal to at most twice the circumferential width of the tread weld region.
