A very light weight tire (10) has at least one radial ply (38) and an aramid belt structure (36), having two single cut belt layers (50, 51) covered by an overlay (59) having cords (80) selected from the group of aramid, rayon, PEN, PET and PVA. The tire (10) has a very thin or reduced gauge (t) undertead (13). The tire (10) can be made having very low rolling resistance due to the combination of casing structure and the reduced rubber mass. |
