A non-pneumatic tire comprising a rubber component comprising at least one textile cord, wherein the cord comprises yarns, wherein the majority of the yarns are fused together in the cord, and wherein the yarns are chosen from one or more of aramid, polyamide, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, glass fiber and carbon fiber yarns.
A non-pneumatic tire comprising a circumferential tread portion and a circumferential shearband supporting the tread portion, wherein the shearband comprises multiple circumferential layers, and wherein at least one of said layers comprises a rubber composition reinforced by textile cords comprising yarns at least partially fused together to form the cords, wherein the yarns are chosen from one or more of aramid, polyamide, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, glass fiber and carbon fiber yarns.
A non-pneumatic tire comprising a circumferential tread portion and a circumferential shearband supporting the tread portion,
- wherein the shearband comprises multiple circumferential layers,
- wherein at least one of said layers comprises a rubber composition reinforced by textile cords comprising yarns at least partially fused together to form the cords,
- wherein the yarns are chosen from one or more of polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate yarns,
- wherein the cords further comprise isocyanate, and wherein the majority of the yarns are fused together by the isocyanate.
