A lamella, membrane, or overlay for use in a tire is provided. A lamella, membrane, or overlay is a thin layer of material (distinct from a subtread, tread base, or undercushion), disposed above reinforcing belts, that primarily extends circumferentially and axially. The lamella, membrane, or overlay reduces strain fields within the tire, reduces internal temperatures within the tire, enhances rolling resistance, and improves tire durability. The lamella, membrane, or overlay may be used in various tire applications, including without limitation, truck-and-bus-radial (TBR), heavy-duty, and passenger/light truck (PLTD) tire applications.
