Abstract
A tire for two-wheel vehicle comprising a casing formed of a crown with a tread and two sidewalls each terminating in a bead intended to rest on a tire rim and an inner tube glued in manually removable manner to the inner wall of the casing in the region of the crown is improved due to the fact that the inner tube is glued under circumferential tension to the casing so that its inside equatorial radius is greater than the outside radius of the flanges of the rim. The adhesive used may have self-sealing properties.
Claims5
A tire for two-wheel vehicles comprising a casing formed of a crown with a tread and two sidewalls each terminating in a bead intended to rest on a tire rim and an inner tube glued in manually removable manner to the inner wall of the casing in the region of the crown, said tire being characterized by the fact that, in uninflated state, the glued inner tube has a wall of constant thickness and is glued under circumferential tension to the casing so that the inside equatorial radius of the glued inner tube is greater than the outside radius of the flanges of the rim and so that the cross section of the glued inner tube has an oval contour whose equatorial radial height is less than both the maximum axial width of said contour and the average diameter of said contour.
