ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of reinforcing a solid tire mounted upon a cylindrical hub such as, for example, a solid rubber fork lift truck tire. Tires have a solid flexible outer layer bonded to an inner cylindrical metal band. The hub is press fit within the band. In order to increase lateral stability or traction, operators often install tires of width greater than the size for which the hub is designed. The unsupported periphery of the band is subjected to impact loads and premature tire failure occurs. The invention provides a removable reinforcing ring which is press fit within the inner cylindrical surface of the metal band adjacent the hub. The outer cylindrical surface of the ring is of diameter to securely engage the band in operation but may be removed and reinstalled during normal maintenance by the same press which separates the tire and hub.
