PNEUMATIC TIRE HAVING A STABILIZING SYSTEM FOR UNDER-INFLATED CONDITIONS

摘要

A stabilizing system for a pneumatic tire and wheel assembly includes complimentary projections (34) and grooves (36) on internal regions of the tire which contact each during an under-inflated condition The projections and grooves mate with each other during the under-inflated condition to provide mechanical and positive interconnection between the regions in a direction of travel thereby inhibiting lateral movement between the tire and the rim.
