A RADIAL PLY PNEUMATIC TIRE AND A TIRE AND RIM COMBINATION INCORPORATING SUCH TIRE

摘要

This disclosure relates to a pneumatic tire that is designed to be run-flat for a certain distance without destroying the remaining life of the tire as a result of injuries to the tire during its run-flat operation. The disclosure further relates to a combination of this tire with a special rim and internal lubricating means within the air chamber defined by the rim and tire. This combination further enhances the non-destructive run-flat characteristics of the tire.
