Abstract

In combination, a vehicle wheel which has a rigid, one-part rim, and a belted pneumatic tire having a single-ply or multiple-ply carcass and substantially inextensible and/or tension resistant core rings in the beads. The rim has rim flanges and, adjacent thereto, seating surfaces for the belted tire. To permit simple mounting of the tire, there is proposed that, in the position of the mounted tire, the distance from the center of a core cross-section to the bead edge facing the seating surface is greater than the distance to the axially inner bead edge, so that the core ring is eccentrically mounted in this region of the bead.
