Abstract: A pneumatic tire and wheel assembly of the drop center type is disclosed including an inflatable annular cord-reinforced tube for filling the well of the wheel. The uninflated diameter of the cord-reinforced annular tube is substantially equal to the diameter of the base of the wheel well but expands to a diameter greater than the diameter of the bead seats upon inflation.The foregoing abstract is not to be taken as limiting the invention of this application, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be made to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

Abstract: A tire with conventional components having a pair of annular beads with different diameters, and contour lengths which are substantially equal. The contour lengths are referenced to the sidewalls of the tire and are measured along the neutral axis of the carcass plies between the beads and a plane containing the mid-circumferential centerline of the tread.

Abstract: A bead retention system for mounting and retaining tires on a rim in which a band of resilient flexible material has a series of transverse bead separators mounted along its length at spaced-apart positions. The band has a length and configuration in the unstressed condition for positioning in a tire cavity prior to mounting of the tire on the rim. A cable connecting the ends of the band extends through a ratchet locking member and may be inserted through the valve hole of the rim whereby the band can be pulled down and locked in position around the rim after mounting of the tire on the rim.

Abstract: An elongated filler of flexible resilient material for an annular well of a rim on which a pneumatic tire having bead portions may be mounted. A reinforcing member of inextensible material is attached to the filler so that the filler may be installed as a unitary member. The filler has a length less than the circumferential distance around the rim at the well providing a space in the well for the tire valve and for a latch fastened to the ends of the reinforcing member. The latch applies tension to the reinforcing member which presses the filler against the rim preventing relative rotation and radial movement out of the well during operation at high speeds.

Abstract: A detachable, resilient shield is maintained in contact with the sidewalls of a tire for off-the-road vehicles to protect this critical area of the tire from damage due to contact with external objects such as rocks. The tire includes a removable tread or a lug traction band. The shield is manufactured separately from the tire. The shield includes criss-crossed reinforcements which extend at oppositely directed angles greater than zero but less than ninety degrees relative to the circumferential direction of the tire.

Abstract: A removable resilient shield is maintained proximate the sidewall of a tire for off-the-road vehicles to protect this critical area of the tire from damage due to contact with external objects such as rocks. The shield is secured to the terminal portion of the rim flange. The radially inner portion of the shield is spaced axially of the rim and at least one radially extending passage is provided for removal of debris from between the shield and the sidewall of a tire mounted on the rim.
