The collapsible tire includes at least one carcass reinforcement that is surmounted radially from the outside by an inextensible crown reinforcement, which is radially on an inside of a tread. The reinforcements each include at least one layer of reinforcing elements. The tread is connected to two beads by two sidewalls. The beads are intended to come into contact with a rim, and each bead has at least one circumferential reinforcing element called a bead wire. The bead wire defines a mean line which forms a substantially circular closed curve in a circumferential plane. The bead wires are flexible and have at least one concave part Pc with a radius Rc and a center of curvature Cc. |

The invention is a collapsible tire assembly for a vehicle designed for traveling over terrain. In detail, the tire assembly includes a rim rotatably mountable to the vehicle. An outer tube expandable from a stored condition to an expanded condition is attached to the rim. The outer tube includes side portions and a center tread portion for making contact with the terrain when in the expanded condition. A mechanism is included for mounting the side portions of the outer tube to the rim such that the outer tube forms a chamber. An inner tube is mounted within the chamber expandable from a stored condition within the chamber to an expanded condition expanding the outer tube to the expanded condition such that the center tread portion is supported by the inflated inner tube and the tire assembly is suitable for moving the vehicle over the terrain. |

A spare tire which is expandable by inflation, having a radial carcass reinforcement anchored to at least one bead ring in each bead and having a tread reinforcement formed of at least two plies of cables which are parallel in each ply and crossed from one ply to the next and form acute angles with the longitudinal direction of the tire, is improved due to the fact that the plies are composed of cables whose elasticity decreases as the inflation pressure increases and as the tire passes from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition ready for travel. |

This disclosure related to a pneumatic tire which is collapsible in its uninflated shape. This disclosure relates to a pneumatic tire and the rim combination of the pneumatic tire and a rim wherein the bead areas of the tire are capable of rotating in their mounted, uninflated shape to attain a different configuration in their mounted, inflated shape. The tire may have the characteristic wherein the sidewalls are capable of being folded axially inwardly toward each other when the tire is mounted on the rim and uninflated. In the uninflated and folded shape the tire and the combination of the tire and rim of this disclosure conserve space and weight over a standard tire and tire and rim combination. This uninflated, folded feature is designed primarily to be used as a spare tire replacement in automobiles. |

A method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire which when inflated has dimensions generally associated with a conventional pneumatic tire but when deflated has an outer diameter and a section width substantially the same, and in any event not substantially greater, than the maximum width and diameter of the rim on which the tire is mounted. The tire is built by the flat band method of construction and is molded at least substantially in the cylindrical shape in which it was built. The sidewalls are sufficiently flexible that they may be folded into an S-shape and underneath the tread when the tire is deflated. |
