<p>A non-pneumatic tire is provided with an annular reinforcing web (20a, 20b) that reduces the bending of compression spokes (18) formed in the tire and reduces stresses and strains in the tire. The non-pneumatic tire includes an inner hoop member (5) having an inner surface that defines the inner diameter of the tire, and an outer hoop member (8) having a tread groove region that defines the outer diameter of the tire. A disc -shaped central web portion (14) connects the inner and outer hoop members. A plurality of elongated, radially aligned cavities (16) on either side of the central web defines integrally- formed compression spokes (18) which connect the inner and outer hoop members. The annular reinforcing web is located on and affixed to either side of the central web portion and interconnects a mid portion of each spoke (18) to a mid portion of the spokes (18) on either side of it.</p> |
