A non-pneumatic tire for a vehicle featuring a body (1) of elastic material and having a circumferentially-extending crown portion (1.1) featuring a running surface and circumferentially-extending sidewalls (1.3) joined to the crown portion. The side walls terminate in circumferentially-extending beads (1.4) which are adapted to engage the rim (5) of a vehicle wheel. A number of radially-extending and circumferentially-spaced compound-curve springs (2) made of a composite material are at least partially embedded within the crown portion and the sidewalls. The curved springs have ends (4) terminating within the beads of the tire body. A circumferentially-extending belt (3) constructed of a high-strength and low stretch material is positioned radially outside of the compound-curve springs. |
