The pneumatic tire has a single carcass ply reinforced with parallel metallic cords, each cord composed of at least one filament having a tensile strength of at least (-2000ÃD+4400 MPa) Ã95%, where D is the filament diameter in millimeters. The turnup portion of the single carcass ply in the bead portion of a pneumatic tire is interposed between the bead core and a toe guard , and the radially outer edge of each turnup portion being in contact with the main portion of the carcass ply and extending to an end point 0. 5 to 4. 0 inches (12. 7 to 101. 6 mm) radially outward of the bead core. The toe guard has a first and second end and each end is disposed directly adjacent to the carcass ply. The first end of the toe guard is located on the axially inner side of the main portion of the carcass ply at a location about 0. 4 to 3. 5 inches (10 to 89 mm) radially outward of the bead core and the second end is located at a point ranging from substantially the axially outermost point of the bead core to a location about 3.

A pneumatic-internal combustion (IC) engine based power management system with improved energy efficiency for automobile application. More particularly, the pneumatic IC engine based power management system comprises a compressor, a pressure vessel, a pneumatic motor and related control mechanisms to provide energy on demand and reduce environmental pollution. The compressor is driven by the IC engine during low power demand by the vehicle. The lightweight pressure vessel wrapped with high strength metal wire and/or fibers provide impact resistance adequate to store compressed air at rated pressure. For low/no load condition of engine or compressor, the IC engine will shut off rather than idling to save fuel. The stored compressed air drives the air motor that powers the vehicle's initial motion and then starts the IC engine to provide continuous power. A controller monitors the power demand and actuates different system components accordingly through sensors.
