ABSTRACT:
A combined tire and radio-controlled powered vehicle substantially concealed within the tire produce in combination the facility to roll across flat surfaces and to turn corners at considerable speed, leaning into the direction of turn. The vehicle has the following wheels: two rear drive wheels, one front steerable wheel, and two upright-axle wheels at the sides near the front steerable wheel enable the powered vehicle to swerve against either tire sidewall on command, and to some extent to climb it, steering the tire and driving it. The vehicle has a body curve in elevational view similar to the tire perimeter curvature.
