According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A tire includes a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions extending circumferentially and continuously on either side of the tread portion, and a bead portion located at a distal lower end of each sidewall portion. The bead portion contains a bead core. An abrasion gum strip is arranged radially along each sidewall portion and surrounds the bead core. The abrasion gum strip interfaces externally with an outermost body ply of one or more body plies forming the tread and sidewall portions. A shear resistance gum (SRG) strip is disposed between the outermost body ply and the abrasion gum strip. The SRG strip is positioned above a heel of the tire and is designed to resist shear forces that may lead to separation of the tire's components in the bead portion."
