Pneumatic tire comprising specified hoop reinforcer element
The invention relates to a tyre ( 10 ) comprising a hooping ply ( 19 ) comprising at least one textile wire-like hoop reinforcer element making an angle strictly less than 10° with the circumferential direction (Z) of the tyre ( 10 ). The bonded textile wire-like reinforcer element has, before the step of production of the hooping ply ( 19 ), a tangent modulus less than or equal to 5 cN/tex/% for any elongation less than or equal to 3%. The textile wire-like hoop reinforcer element has, once extracted from the tyre ( 10 ), a tangent modulus greater than or equal to 5 cN/tex/% for any elongation greater than or equal to 4%.

wherein the at least one textile wire-like hoop reinforcer element comprises:
a core composed of a first strand comprising at least one monofilament, and
a layer comprising at least two second strands, each second strand of the layer comprising at least one monofilament, each second strand of the layer being helically wound around the core, and each second strand having a count from 130 tex to 220 tex.
