Summary:A motor-cycle tire ( 1 ) comprising a ground contacting tread ( 2 ) reinforced between its edges ( 3,4 ) by a breaker assembly and having in its normally inflated fitted condition a camber value C/L of between 0.5 and 0.7, a reinforcing carcass ply ( 14 ) extending radially inside the breaker assembly and between two bead regions ( 10,11 ) and wrapped in each bead region around an annular bead core ( 12,13 ) from the axial inside to the outside to form carcass ply turn-ups ( 15,16 ) and between the tread edges ( 3,4 ) and bead regions ( 10,11 ), tire sidewalls ( 8,9 ) wherein the breaker assembly comprises two breaker plies ( 5,7 ) comprising reinforcing cords oppositely inclined with respect to the circumferential direction of the tire characterized in that the tread comprises two different rubber compounds, the first rubber compound extending in a continuous first layer between the tread edges ( 3,4 ) and the second rubber compound being disposed in a second layer radially outwardly of the layer of the first rubber compound to form the tread running surface in the central portion of the tread.
