Patent attributes
A tire of which the tread contains at least two layers of blended elastomeric compounds that are radially superposed and has a voids ratio that is lower in the central part than at the axially outer parts thereof. A first layer of blended elastomeric compounds of the tread is made up of a first blended elastomeric compound forming a central part, and of two outer parts formed of a second blended compound, the first blended compound having a Z-value higher than 55, the first blended compound and the second blended compound having a tan(δ)max value lower than 0.110, the modulus G* of the second blended elastomeric compound having a value at least 10% higher than that of the modulus G* of the first blended elastomeric compound, a second layer of the tread, radially the outermost, being made up of a third blended compound of which the modulus G* has a value at least 10% higher than that of the modulus G* of the first blended elastomeric compound and the elongation at break of the third blended compound having a value at least 10% higher than those of the elongations at break of the first and second blended compounds.
