Abstract

A molded vehicular tire is internally partitioned by a set of angularly equispaced webs integral with its toroidal casing, the webs being separated from the inner wall surfaces of the casing by arcuate gaps extending laterally from the region of its sole but terminating short of its beads. The webs, attached to the tire casing at three points, act as reinforcements allowing the tire to be used even without internal air pressure.
