A runflat assembly comprises a plurality of circumferentially extending section parts interconnectable together into an annular configuration to fit around a wheel, the runflat assembly including a connector member configured to interconnect two of the circumferentially extending section parts, the runflat assembly including a retraction mechanism operable to act on the connector member to selectively permit the two circumferentially extending section parts to be spaced apart from each other in a first configuration of the connector member and draw the two circumferentially extending section parts towards each other in a second configuration of the connector member, wherein the connector member is configured to be releasable from at least one of the two circumferentially extending section parts.
