Abstract
The invention relates to a tire having four treads distributed equidistantly on the external part of the body or carcass, which allow the tire to be deflated and rotated in order for a new tread to be placed in contact with the ground when the current tread has been subjected to heavy wear, without the tire having to be replaced. The invention is advantageous for the tire owner since with just a small increase in outlay the owner is guaranteed a tire that will last longer and that can be used for an increased number of kilometers of cycling.
Claims2
A bicycle tire with four treads, wherein it includes a body or carcass whose cross-section is substantially circular in shape, with four treads laid out on the outside wall of the carcass, each tread having a flange or rim for fastening to the metal rim on both sides and wherein said treads also present a series of drainage channels or grooves so that the treads, along with the carcass, form a unitary body, wherein said body also has a valve to inflate the tire, positioned 45° above the body of the tire, penetrating one of the angles formed between the treads so as not to impede the free rotation of the tire nor cause complications in mounting the tire on the rim.
