ABSTRACT:
A tire and wheel construction for vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, farm equipment, etc., which includes a wheel comprised of inner and outer disc portions, bolted together in their central portions, a rim portion formed in two annular, opposed half sections from the respective disc portions, and an outwardly turned flange from the outer periphery of each rim half section. The tire comprises an inner annular wall, including opposed, annular edge projections, configurated for clamped engagement between the rim flanges, an outer annular tread wall and opposed side walls, integrally connecting between the inner and tread walls to define a completely enclosed annular chamber. Interiorly of the chamber is an annular outwardly extending projection, formed integral with the tread wall, and an inwardly extending annular projection, formed integral with the tread wall, the annular projections being cooperatingly configurated, and aligned in a vertical annular path so as to become interengaged under the weight of a vehicle and to support a proportionate share of said weight without the necessity of being inflated with compressed air.
