SUBSTANCE: structure of tire carcass contains one or more carcass layers, each formed by like strips containing longitudinal elements similar to threads and included into layer of elastomer material. Strip-like elements have parts of crown zone located over circumference in strip-to-strip position, and side parts laid in radial direction on tire side strips. Each side part of each layer of carcass is at least partially overlapped by one of side parts of adjacent strip. Ring-shaped structures coupled with carcass layers contain pair of non-stretchable inserts in form of ring-shaped layers connected to first and second layers of carcass, respectively, and axially separated by elastomer filler. Structure of belt, tread tape and side strips are connected with carcass structure. EFFECT: increased strength of tires. 26 cl, 13 dwg
