Abstract

A vehicle wheel having a rigid rim on which can be mounted a pneumatic rubber tire. The tire beads are adapted to be disposed on the radially inner side of the rim ring. Deep mounting beds are located axially inwardly of the rim seating surfaces for the tire bead. In order to prevent the penetration of water and dirt into the deep mounting beads, the tire beads each have a cross-sectional shape which on the one hand during mounting allow the tire bead to enter the mounting space having the deep bed, and on the other hand in the operating position of the tire close off the mounting space having the deep bed region.
