1. A tire for a passenger vehicle comprising:
a crown comprising an outer strip having a tread that is intended to come into contact with a ground via a tread surface, two beads that are intended to come into contact with a rim, and two sidewalls that connect the crown to the beads,
the outer strip being radially on the outside of a crown reinforcement comprising crown layers comprising reinforcing elements, the outer strip being axially on an inside of a part of the sidewalls that is radially on an outside of the crown reinforcement, and the outer strip being constituted of a central part and two axially outer parts,
the central part of the outer strip having an axial width equal to 80% of an axial width of the tread surface,
the outer strip comprising at least two rubber compounds, the two rubber compounds making up at least 90% of a volume of the outer strip,
the first rubber compound being radially on an outside of the second rubber compound, the second rubber compound making up at least 60% of a volume of the axially outer parts of the outer strip and being disposed in a layer that is substantially continuous from one axially outer part of the outer strip to the other, the layer having a minimum radial thickness at least equal to 0.3 mm,
wherein the first rubber compound has a dynamic shear modulus G*, at 10% deformation at 10 Hz at 23° C. measured in accordance with standard ASTM D 5992-96, at least equal to 1.35 times a dynamic shear modulus G*, at 10% deformation at 10 Hz at 23° C. measured in accordance with standard ASTM D 5992-96, of the second rubber compound and at most equal to 3 times the dynamic shear modulus G*, at 10% deformation at 10 Hz at 23° C. measured in accordance with standard ASTM D 5992-96, of the second rubber compound,
wherein the first rubber compound has a dynamic loss tan D0_1, measured in accordance with standard ASTM D 5992-96, at a temperature of 0° C. and under a stress of 0.7 MPa at 10 Hz, at least equal to 0.5,
wherein the second rubber compound has a dynamic loss tan D23_2, measured in accordance with standard ASTM D 5992-96, at a temperature of 23° C. and under a deformation of 10% at 10 Hz, at most equal to 0.3, and
wherein the first and second rubber compounds have reinforcing fillers made up of at least 80% silica, expressed as a percentage of a total mass of the reinforcing fillers.
