ABSTRACT:
An elongated filler of flexible resilient material for an annular well of a rim on which a pneumatic tire having bead portions may be mounted. A reinforcing member of inextensible material is attached to the filler so that the filler may be installed as a unitary member. The filler has a length less than the circumferential distance around the rim at the well providing a space in the well for the tire valve and for a latch fastened to the ends of the reinforcing member. The latch applies tension to the reinforcing member which presses the filler against the rim preventing relative rotation and radial movement out of the well during operation at high speeds.
