A non-pneumatic tire comprising side cavities that are staggered with respect to laterally opposing side cavities, and laterally extending tread grooves that are in substantial radial alignment with the cavities. In another embodiment, the invention is to a tire comprising side cavities that are staggered with respect to laterally opposing side cavities, and laterally extending tread grooves that are substantially offset relative to the side cavities. The side cavities may be separated by ribs which are either radial oriented or are angled relative to the radial direction. The tread grooves may have walls at are straight or angled relative to the radial direction. Also provided are processes for making such tires and to off-the-road (OTR) vehicles employing such tires. |
