A tire suitable for running flat comprises a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement with at least one carcass ply anchored in each bead and a sidewall insert placed axially internally relative to at least the carcass ply, wherein the tire is equipped with an electronic device comprising at least one radiofrequency transponder and wherein, each bead comprising a bead wire of revolution about a reference axis and H being one of the points of the bead wire closest to the axis of revolution, the electronic device is placed axially in a zone of the tire bounded by at least one of the beads and one of the sidewalls and radially externally at a radial distance larger than 20 mm from the point H.

The present invention provides a run-flat tire excellent in run-flat durability. In the run-flat tire, a vulcanized rubber of a rubber composition containing a rubber component and a vulcanization accelerator that contains tetrabenzylthiuramdisulfide is used for at least one member selected from the group consisting of a side-reinforcing rubber layer and a bead filler. In the vulcanized rubber of the run-flat tire, a proportion of monosulfide bonds and disulfide bonds in all sulfide bonds is 65% or more.

A tire (10, 10′) for rotation about an axis of rotation (12) has a first wall portion (14) having a partially conical form, and a second wall portion (16) integrally formed and interconnected with the first wall portion at a transition region (18) so as to define an annular recess. A closure-limiting configuration includes a number of tubular reinforcing elements (20) arrayed around the annular recess. Each tubular reinforcing element has a wall with a closed cross-section. The tubular reinforcing elements (20) are spaced around the annular recess such that deformation of a compressed region of the tire under a load causes a change in shape of the tubular reinforcing elements in the compressed region.

The present invention relates to a hybrid run-flat having a buffering structure for a military vehicle, and more particularly, to a hybrid run-flat having a buffering structure for a military vehicle wherein a buffer member famed of a material different from the run-flat is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the run-flat of the military vehicle to enable a driving due to the buffer member even when a tire punctures, in which a groove for a lubricant is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the buffer member, and a buffer space as an empty space is famed therein, so that the impact relief effect is increased.

The present invention provides a run-flat tire excellent in high-temperature softening inhibition, and a rubber composition from which the tire can be produced. The rubber composition contains a rubber component, a filler, a vulcanizing agent, and a vulcanization accelerator that contains a sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator and 1.0 to 2.0 parts by mass of tetrabenzylthiuramdisulfide based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, in which a mass ratio (a/b) of a content (a) of the tetrabenzylthiuramdisulfide to a content (b) of the sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator is 0.60 to 1.25.
