Abstract

A process for making inflatable tires Puncture Proof. PA1 wherein air filled spheres or bubbles (2) are coated with a quick drying glue (10) before being inserted into a mounted, deflated tire, which is then inflated and rotated at high speed to create the centrifugal force needed to disperse spheres (2) evenly while the glue (10) dries and also to balance the wheel (8) without the use of weights.
