A combination of a pneumatic tire and a vehicle wheel. The wheel has a rigid rim provided with essentially radially inwardly extending rim flanges. The radially outer side of the rim has emergency operation support surfaces, and the radially inner side of the rim is provided with respective recessed mounting portions for the beads of the tire, which is made of rubber or rubber-like synthetic material and has a carcass that is anchored in the beads by being looped about pull and compression-resistant bead cores thereof. The beads are disposed on rim seating surfaces provided on the radially inner side of the rim next to the rim flanges. The height of the rim flanges and the configuration of the tire beads are coordinated with one another in such a way that when the tire is uninflated and not subjected to load, there is provided between a rim flange and an adjacent inner wall of the tire, at the level of the radially innermost point of the rim flange, a gap of 0.5 to 3 mm.
