Abstract

A radial ply tire and rim assembly in which the rim has an axially extended flange with a special configuration to provide a double register for the bead area. The tire when mounted on the rim and inflated has its carcass distorted radially outwardly from the natural equilibrium curvature in which it was molded and the carcass curves axially inwardly to meet the bead core at a very small angle with respect to the axis of the tire.
