Abstract

A tire includes: a carcass structure including at least one carcass ply, of a substantially toroidal shape, having opposite lateral edges associated with respective right-hand and left-hand bead structures, the bead structures including at least one bead core and at least one bead filler; a belt structure applied in a radially external position with respect to the carcass structure; a tread band radially superimposed on the belt structure; a pair of sidewalls applied laterally on opposite sides with respect to the carcass structure; at least one layer including a crosslinked elastomeric material having air barrier properties, wherein the crosslinked elastomeric material is obtained by crosslinking a crosslinkable elastomeric composition including: (a) 10 phr or 100 phr, preferably 20 phr to 60 phr, of at least one butyl rubber; (b) 0 phr to 90 phr, preferably 40 phr to 80 phr, of at least one diene elastomeric polymer; (c) 5 phr to 120 phr, preferably 15 phr to 90 phr, of at least one reinforcing filler; (d) 2 phr to 20 phr, preferably 5 phr to 15 phr, of at least one copolymer of at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof with at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing at least one polyoxyalkylene side chain.
