Pneumatic Vehicle Tires Comprising a Belt Bandage

A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a carcass, a profiled tread, a belt and a single or multi-ply belt bandage having strength members running in the circumferential direction of the tire which covers this belt;

• wherein at least one bandage ply of the belt bandage comprises in its axial extent two lateral sections, each comprising an axial edge of the bandage ply, and a central section arranged between the two lateral sections;
• wherein each of the two lateral sections comprises at least one hybrid strength member;
• wherein the central section comprises at least one strength member having a lower modulus of elasticity than the hybrid strength members of the two lateral sections, the modulus of elasticity measured as per ASTM D885M at an extension of 3%;
• wherein the at least one hybrid strength member of each the two lateral sections is a hybrid cord made of at least two yarns twisted together, and wherein at least a first yarn is a high-modulus yarn and wherein a further yarn is a low-modulus yarn;
• wherein the at least one hybrid strength member of each of the two lateral sections have a fineness of not more than 550 dtex;
• and,
• wherein the at least one strength member of the central section has a fineness of not more than 1100 dtex.
