The present invention relates to a method of lubricating the interface between a supporting ring (3, 103) and inner surface (55) of a tire (50) for use with a rim (121) for a tire (50) having two beads (53), comprising the step of providing a lubricant (2, 102) on a surface (1, 101) of said supporting ring (3, 103), said lubricant (2, 102) comprising at least 60 percent by weight of polydimethylsiloxane, from 7 to 13 weight percent of amorphous silica, and from 7 to 13 weight percent of hydroxy-terminated dimethyl siloxane. It also relates to a supporting ring (3, 103) with a surface (1, 101) provided with such a lubricant (2, 102), a tire (50) with an inner surface (55) provided with such a lubricant (2, 102), and a tire/rim assembly with an interface between a supporting ring (3, 103) and an inner surface (55) of the tire (50) wherein the interface is provided with such a lubricant. <IMAGE> |
