A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes a carcass structure, a pair of inextensible annular structures, a belt structure, a tread band, a pair of sidewalls, and at least one coating layer. The carcass structure includes at least one carcass ply shaped in a substantially-toroidal configuration and is engaged, by opposite circumferential edges, to the inextensible annular structures. The belt structure includes at least one belt strip applied in a circumferentially-external position relative to the carcass structure. The tread band is circumferentially superimposed on the belt structure. The sidewalls are applied to opposite sides of the carcass structure. The at least one coating layer includes crosslinked elastomeric material placed in a radially-internal position relative to the at least one carcass ply. The at least one coating layer is obtained by crosslinking at least one elastomer comprising hydrolyzable silane groups. A related process for producing the tyre is also disclosed. |
