## Abstract

The present invention provides a deformable tire including a plurality of spokes. A first end of each of the spokes is connected to a core structure, and a second end of each of the spokes is connected to a tire body. A first length is provided between each of the tire bodies and the core structure connected by each of the spokes, and the spokes are elastic. The core structure is configured to fix and support the plurality of spokes, and each of the first lengths is dynamically adjusted by the elasticity of the spokes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A deformable tire, comprising:
a plurality of spokes, wherein a first end of each of the spokes is connected to a core structure, and a second end of each of the spokes is connected to a tire body, wherein a first length is provided between each of the tire bodies and the core structure connected by each of the spokes, and the spokes are elastic;
wherein the core structure is configured to fix and support the plurality of spokes, and each of the first lengths is dynamically adjusted by an elasticity of the spokes.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The deformable tire according to claim 1, wherein each of the first lengths is dynamically adjusted to a second length via the elasticity of each of the spokes, and the second length is smaller than the first length.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The deformable tire according to claim 1, wherein the tire bodies are fixed on the core structure via the spokes, and the tire bodies are arranged in two lines, which are parallel to and staggered with each other, around the core structure.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The deformable tire according to claim 3, wherein each of the tire bodies in the two lines of the tire bodies are not in connection with each other, and the two lines of the tire bodies are arranged so the tire bodies are not overlapped with each other.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The deformable tire according to claim 3, wherein each of the tire bodies in the two lines of the tire bodies are not in connection with each other, and the two lines of the tire bodies are arranged so the tire bodies are partially overlapped with each other.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The deformable tire according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of holes is provided on the core structures for receiving the spokes, each of the first lengths is adjusted by each of the spokes via the holes, or, each of the first lengths is adjusted by the elasticity of each of the spokes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The deformable tire according to claim 6, wherein each of the first lengths is adjusted to a third length by each of the spokes via the holes on the core structure, and the third length is smaller than the first length.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The deformable tire according to claim 1, wherein each of the spokes is one of a damper and an elastic structure.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The deformable tire according to claim 1, wherein the deformable tire is applicable for one of a bicycle and a wheel chair.
