ABSTRACT:
A safety liner for protecting the tubeless tires is provided. The liner is combined a predetermined number of segment of identical shape to form a circular configuration for disposing in place into the drop center of a tire rim and adjustably locked up by a coupling member at the confronting ends of the circular configuration. A wedge plate slidably secures between each segment and the drop center at one side and a cushion runner disposes between the circular configuration and the drop center at the other side. When the tire becomes flat, the flexible outer surface of the liner engages with the inner surface of the tire that permits a vehicle continuous operation. Because the liner is combined by a plurality of segments, it is structurally flexible to suite to different types of tire rim and because the segments are in identical shape, it facilitate a mass production and low cost to manufacture.
