The tire comprises a carcass ply connecting two beads via two sidewalls, the carcass ply being surmounted radially towards the outside of the tire by a crown reinforcing zone which is itself surmounted radially towards the outside of the tire by a tread, the crown reinforcing zone comprising a plurality of reinforcing strips arranged over at least one ply of strips. The strips are arranged so that they are juxtaposed and at an angle less than or equal to 15° with respect to the circumferential direction. Each reinforcing strip is made up of a laminate of at least 3 composite layers, each composite layer containing oriented fibers having a tensile modulus greater than or equal to 55 GPa, which are parallel to one another and coated in a polymer matrix.
