Claims (22)

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . A tyre designed to be able to run flat, the tyre comprising:

a carcass reinforcement that includes at least one reinforcing element,

wherein each reinforcing element includes:

at least one multifilament plied strand made of aramid, and

at least one multifilament plied strand made of polyester, and

wherein the at least one multifilament plied strand made of aramid and the at least one multifilament plied strand made of polyester are twisted together.

12 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein the carcass reinforcement includes a single carcass ply.

13 . The tyre according to claim 11 , further comprising two beads, each bead including at least one annular reinforcing structure, wherein the carcass reinforcement is anchored in the two beads by being turned up around the at least one annular reinforcing structure of each bead.

14 . The tyre according to claim 12 , further comprising two beads, each bead including at least one annular reinforcing structure, wherein the carcass reinforcement is anchored in the two beads by being turned up around the at least one annular reinforcing structure of each bead.

15 . The tyre according to claim 11 , further comprising a sidewall insert arranged axially at an inside position relative to the carcass reinforcement.

16 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein a count of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid is between 100 and 400 tex, endpoints included.

17 . The tyre according to claim 16 , wherein the count of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid is between 140 and 210 tex, endpoints included.

18 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein a count of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 100 and 500 tex, endpoints included.

19 . The tyre according to claim 18 , wherein the count of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 100 and 170 tex, endpoints included.

20 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein a ratio of a count of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid to a count of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 0.2 and 4.

21 . The tyre according to claim 20 , wherein the ratio of the count of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid to the count of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 1 and 1.3.

22 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein a twist of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid is between 250 and 450 twists per meter, endpoints included.

23 . The tyre according to claim 22 , wherein the twist of each multifilament plied strand made of aramid is between 340 and 420 twists per meter, endpoints included.

24 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein a twist of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 250 and 450 twists per meter, endpoints included.

25 . The tyre according to claim 24 , wherein the twist of each multifilament plied strand made of polyester is between 340 and 420 twists per meter, endpoints included.

26 . The tyre according to claim 11 , wherein each reinforcing element includes a single multifilament plied strand made of aramid and a single multifilament plied strand made of polyester.
