Abstract
Disclosed is an anti-puncture shield insert for a wheel. The wheel includes a rim and an inflated tire connected to the edges of the rim. The shield insert is made of a shock-absorbing material. The shield insert is placed at the widest point between the inner sidewalls of the tire. As a hit causes the tire to collapse, the shield insert absorbs the shock taken by the tire and the rim, by staying between inner parts of the tire. The shield insert is floating relative to the tire.
