A run-flat tyre system comprising a tyre (2) and a tyre core (5) disposed therein, the tyre core (5) being an annular body of an elastic closed-cell material, the radially outside and inside of the tyre core each being provided with a circumferentially extending groove (6,7), the radially inner groove (7) extending radially outwardly beyond a bead core line (CL) drawn between the centres of the bead cores (C). When the tyre is mounted on a standard rim (3), the radially outer groove (6) forms a radially outer space (9) extending circumferentially of the tyre and having a cross sectional area of from 1 to 6 % of the total sectional area of the tyre cavity, and the radially inner groove (7) forms a radially inner space (10) extending circumferentially of the tyre having a cross sectional area (Si) of from 10 to 25 % of the total sectional area (S) of the tyre cavity. <IMAGE> |
