A wheel with a suspension system being connectable to a vehicle, like a wheel chair, comprises a hub (38) and a rim (34) rotatable about the axle (42) of the hub (38). Between the hub (38) and the rim (34), a number of support members (40) is located. The support members (40) are adapted to retain the distance when stressed up to a threshold value and recoverly alter the distanced when stressed over this threshold value. According to the invention, the support members (40) are comprising spring elements (50), damping strokes by compression if the support member (40) is compressed or elongated. The spring elements (50) are preferably preloaded.

A spring tire or a spring wheel includes a hub, a plurality of tapered springs, a plurality of retainers, and an elastic outer tire tread. The plurality of tapered springs are pre-compressed and mounted on the hub through the plurality of retainers, and inner side surfaces of the plurality of retainers are pressed on and abut the plurality of tapered springs. The inner side surfaces of the plurality of retainers are buckled to the hub, and outer side surfaces of the plurality of retainers abut an inner side surface of the elastic outer tire tread.
