Abstract
A vehicle wheel having a pneumatic tire which is only slightly outwardly arched or crowned and which has a carcass and a centrally located tread strip. The tread strip has sharply defined edges and has a length approximately one third the width of the freely extended axial length of the tire body. The tire body is deflected sectionwise inwardly under a rated load in such a way that the carcass changes from a convex configuration to a concave one, in the process of which the carcass layers radially inwardly of the contact surface edges experience an angle variation of from 10.degree. to 30.degree..
