Abstract:
A tire with a radial carcass reinforcement, having a crown reinforcement, itself capped radially by a tread connected to two beads by two sidewalls, the tread having at least two layers of blended elastomeric compounds that are radially superposed and have a voids ratio that is lower in the central part than at the axially outer parts. A first layer of blended elastomeric compounds of the tread is made up of a first blended elastomeric compound forming a part extending at least into the region of the equatorial plane and of at least two axially outer parts formed of a second blended elastomeric compound, the first blended elastomeric compound having a macro dispersion Z-value higher than 65 and a maximum tan(δ) value, denoted tan(δ)max, lower than 0.120, and the complex dynamic shear modulus G* 1% at 100° C. of the second blended elastomeric compound having a value at least 10% higher than that of the complex dynamic shear modulus G* 1% at 100° C. of the first blended elastomeric compound.
