A vehicle wheel comprises a wheel rim (11) and a pneumatic tire (10) fitted to the rim, particularly a tubeless tire wherein the wheel rim includes seats (12) for the tire beads (20). The rim seats (12) include an elevating ridge (14) which is spaced from the rim lips and the tire beads (20) have a generally corresponding configuration. With the tire fitted to the rim, the tread cores (19) of the tire are located between the rim lips (12) and the elevating ridge (14). According to the invention, the rim (11) is a 15 DEG rim with a 15 DEG seat surface (15) between rim flip (12) and elevating ridge (14). The side (16) of the elevating ridge remote from the rim lips extend at an angle of 15-40 DEG essentially in a straight line from the crown of the elevating ridge in a direction inwards towards the rim centre. The invention also relates to a wheel rim having rim seats and elevating ridge of the same configuration. <IMAGE> |
