Abstract:
A tire is provided that includes a crown with a mid-plane S, two sidewalls, a first bead, of diameter Φ1, intended to be positioned on the outboard side of a vehicle, and a second bead, of diameter Φ2, intended to be positioned on the inboard side of a vehicle, such that Φ1>Φ2. When the tire is mounted on its working rim and inflated to its nominal pressure, the mid-plane S of the crown is axially offset towards the first bead relative to a mid-plane B of the beads by a positive or zero distance D.

Abstract:
A vehicle rim with symmetry of revolution intended for mounting a tire, including a first seat intended to receive and retain a first bead of the tire; a mounting groove; and a second seat intended to receive and retain a second bead of the tire, the second seat being of an average diameter smaller than the average diameter of the first seat, characterized in that the maximum radial depth of the mounting groove (Hmax) is such that the second bead can negotiate the first seat.
