Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a non-pneumatic tire ( 1 ), a plurality of connecting members ( 13 ) that connects a mounting body ( 11 ) and an annular body ( 12 ) are provided along a tire-circumferential direction. The annular body is split into a plurality of split bodies ( 12 a ) along the tire-circumferential direction. A resilient member ( 16 ) that is extended along the tire-circumferential direction and connects the plurality of split bodies in the tire-circumferential direction is provided in the annular body. This non-pneumatic tire ( 1 ) secures satisfactory ride quality, maneuverability and durability by suppressing increase in weight, hardness and rolling resistance, ensures uniform contact-pressure distribution, and prevents the occurrence of a puncture.
