A tire is configured to be received by a wheel having at least one angled surface. The tire includes a tread portion, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The first sidewall has a first outer surface, a first inner surface, and a first projection extending inwardly from the first inner surface. The first projection has a first angled surface configured to engage a first corresponding surface of a wheel. The second sidewall has a second outer surface, a second inner surface, and a second projection extending inwardly from the second inner surface. The second projection has a second angled surface configured to engage a second corresponding surface of the wheel.

An agricultural implement comprises a wheel body with a peripheral groove, a tire with a bead projecting radially inward, and a radial lock which locks the tire around the wheel body. The bead is shaped so as to be housed in the groove when the tire is mounted around the wheel body. The radial lock comprises a first aperture formed in the wheel body, opening into the groove on the one hand and onto a main face of the wheel body on the other hand, at least a second aperture formed in the bead of the tire, opening substantially facing the first aperture, and a pin placed in the first aperture and the second aperture.

The invention presents a device and a method for placing and attaching a strip inside a tire. Specifically, the tire is positioned on a mounting in relation to a centering means, and an adhesive device is placed inside the tire. While the tire is rotated, the strip is moved inside the tire, wherein a pressure force is applied to said strip. The strip is driven at a linear speed greater than the rotation speed of the tire, thus producing an effect of compressing said strip, the length of which becomes less than the nominal length thereof, thus creating a space between both ends of the strip such that, after release, the strip scrapes the adhesive device, which is repositioned on said ends, thus simultaneously causing said ends to be attached end to end.

A run flat tire having a side reinforcing rubber part is disclosed. The side reinforcing rubber part is formed by a rubber composition having a ratio (M50H/M50N) of tensile stress (M50H) in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 100° C. to tensile stress (M50N) in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 23° C. of from 1.0 to 1.3. A cushion rubber layer interposed between the side reinforcing rubber part and a bead filler is provided, and tensile stress in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 23° C. of a rubber composition forming the cushion rubber layer is larger than tensile stress in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 23° C. of the rubber composition forming the side reinforcing rubber part, and is smaller than tensile stress in 50% elongation at a measurement temperature of 23° C. of a rubber composition forming the bead filler.

A wheel rim retainer includes an annular unit, a first end connecting member movably coupled at one end of the annular unit, and a second end connecting member movably coupled at an opposed end of the annular unit. The annular unit includes a plurality of hinged members movably coupled with each other in an edge-to-edge manner, wherein each of the hinged members has a width larger than a width of the wheel well. The second end connecting member is detachably coupled with the first end connecting member for encircling the hinged members around a hub surface of a wheel rim to cover a wheel well thereof so as to prevent a bead of a tire falling at the wheel rim when the tire is deflated.

A pneumatic tire comprises: a fastener disposed on a tire inner surface, the mechanical fastener being a first mechanical fastener of a separatable pair of mechanical fasteners composed of at least two fastener members; wherein a) the fastener members sandwich a rubber-coated fiber reinforced member and fix together; b) the fastener is disposed within a region such that the following relationship is satisfied: 0.05≦A/H≦0.4, where A is a height in a tire radial direction from a bead toe end to a center position (C) of the fastener, and H is a height of a cross section of the tire; and c) the fiber reinforced member includes fiber bundles disposed in alignment in at least one direction, and forms an angle (minor angle θ) with a tire circumferential direction such that: 30 degrees≦θ≦90 degrees.
