A nonpneumatic tire includes an annular outer surface, an annular inner surface, and a webbing extending from the annular outer surface to the annular inner surface. The nonpneumatic, tire also includes a plurality of shear elements extending circumferentially around the annular outer surface and spaced laterally apart from each other. Each shear element includes a substantially inelastic lower region, a substantially inelastic upper region, and an elastic region disposed between the substantially inelastic lower region and the substantially inelastic upper region. The nonpneumatic tire further includes a tread layer extending circumferentially around the plurality of shear elements.
