Every bead comprises filler 110 and outer band 120 arranged axially outside both carcass reinforcement and bead filler. Assembly formed by bead filler 110 and outer band 120 features thickness E(r) where r is distance to radially innermost point 71 of circular reinforcement structure. Thickness E(r) at different sections is such that thickness variation within distances r exceeding or equal to 15%, or smaller than or equal to 50% of tire radial height H is smaller than or equal to -0.25 mm/mm over, at least, 5 mm.
