Tire assembly with circumferential shape memory alloy configuration

A tire assembly comprising:

• a tread portion,
• a rim, and
• at least a first band assembly positioned between the tread portion and the rim, wherein the first band assembly includes
• a first SMA element having an outer surface, wherein the first SMA element extends circumferentially about the tire assembly,
• a second SMA element having an outer surface, wherein the second SMA element extends circumferentially about the tire assembly and is positioned laterally adjacent to the first SMA element,
• a first bead member having an outer surface, wherein the first bead member extends circumferentially about the tire assembly, and
• a first fiber reinforced polymer assembly that includes a plurality of fiber reinforcement members disposed in a polymer member, wherein the first fiber reinforced polymer assembly extends around the outer surface of the first SMA element, the outer surface of the second SMA element and the outer surface of the first bead member, wherein the first fiber reinforced polymer assembly extends circumferentially about the tire assembly.
