ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel structure for use with a pneumatic tire to be fitted around the wheel rim of the wheel structure. The wheel rim is provided with a flexible, endless band of rubber material held flat on the surface of the wheel rim which faces the pneumatic tire. To avoid a lateral displacement of the flexible endless band relative to the wheel rim, the band is formed with a plurality of ribs which, when the band is held flat on the surface of the wheel rim, engage into mating grooves formed in the wheel rim structure. Separate bead stoppers are also employed to press the bead portions of the tire against the respective rim flanges to achieve tight contact between the bead portions of the tire and the respective rim flanges and also to seal holes through which bolts extend for securing the bead stoppers in position.
