Abstract
A device enabling a motor vehicle to run on a flat tire, the device comprising a running ring made of elastomer and mounted tightly on the rim of the wheel inside the tire, the running ring being largely overdimensioned in radial height, in width or axial dimension, and in mass, and its radially-projecting annular portion is offset towards the inside of the vehicle to form protection for the occupants of the vehicle against the explosion of a mine triggered by passage of the wheel.
