A tyre for a wheel of a vehicle comprises a toroidal carcass provided with
axially opposite sidewalls and beads for anchoring the tyre to a rim of
the wheel, a tread band located crownwise on the carcass, comprising a
surface with a plurality of hollows and grooves defining a raised tread
pattern, and a belt structure interposed between the carcass and the
tread band, axially extending between the sidewalls. The tread band
comprises at least first and second circumferential axially-contiguous
portions arranged to contact a road surface. The first portion is formed
of a first composition comprising a reinforcing filler having at least
40%-by-weight carbon black and at least some white filler, the second
portion is formed of a second composition comprising a reinforcing filler
having at least 20%-by-weight white filler, and the first composition is
different from the second composition. A difference of compositions
between the at least first and second portions achieves a tyre operating
temperature lower than a reference temperature.
