Abstract: PUNCTURE PROOF OR UNDERFLATABLE TIRE WHICH MAY BE OF THE TUBED OR TUBELESS VARIETY BUT IN EITHER EVENT PROVIDED WITH A PLURALITY OF SUBSTANTIALLY AIR-TIGHT CELLS ADJACENT A MANIFOLD WHICH IS ADAPTED TO HAVE A NORMAL INLET FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE TIRE THROUGH A TIRE VALVE WHICH MAY PASS THROUGH THE WHEEL RIM AND WHEREIN THE MANIFOLD IS CONNECTED TO EACH OF THE CELLS THROUGH A VALVE WHICH PERMITS AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE MANIFOLD TO A CELL WHEN THE PRESSURE OF A PARTICULAR CELL HAS CRITICALLY DROPPED DUE TO A PUNCTURE OF A RUPTURE OF A WALL THEREOF. THE TIRES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTANT INVENTIONALLY ALSO INCLUDE A SPECIAL VALVE LOCATED BETWEEN EACH CELL IN THE MANIFOLD OF SUCH NATURE AS WILL PERMIT AIR FROM THE MANIFOLD TO BE PASSED TO A CELL WHICH HAS LOST AIR AND WILL ALSO PERMIT AIR TO BE PASSED FROM THE CELL BACK TO THE MANIFOLD WHEN THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELIEVED BY OPENING ITS INLET VALVE.
