Durable, smooth ride wheel and solid rubber tire

A wheel and solid rubber tire assembly comprising:

• a. a metal wheel having a predetermined diameter and a cylindrical rim around the periphery of said metal wheel, said rim having a predetermined narrow width;
• b. a primer layer of hard rubber having a hardness in the range of 75-85 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) bonded to the periphery of said metal wheel cylindrical rim, and primer layer having said predetermined narrow width;
• c. a soft layer of rubber bonded to said primer layer having a hardness in the range of about 25-40 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) and having said predetermined narrow width;
• d. a bonding layer of rubber having a hardness in the range of 75-85 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) bonded to said soft layer of rubber around a periphery thereof, said bonding layer having a wide width approximately twice the width of said predetermined narrow width of said metal wheel rim, said primer layer and said soft layer of rubber secured to said primer layer;
• and
• e. a wear layer of solid rubber having a width substantially equal to said bonding layer, said wear layer having a hardness greater than about 60 Durometer (on the Shores A scale).

A wheel and solid rubber tire assembly comprising:

• a. a metal wheel having an outwardly disposed cylindrical metal surface and a predetermined diameter without sidewalls projecting outwardly from said predetermined diameter;
• b. a primer layer of hard rubber having a hardness in the range of 75-85 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) bonded to said cylindrical metal surface, said primer layer having a said predetermined narrow width;
• c. a soft layer of rubber bonded to said primer layer having an average hardness in the range of about 25-40 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) and having said predetermined narrow width along the surface of bonding to said primer layer and progressively expanding to a second width approximately twice the width of said predetermined narrow width;
• d. a bonding layer of rubber having a hardness in the range of 75-85 Durometer (on the Shores A scale) bonded to said soft layer of rubber around a periphery thereof at said second width approximately twice said predetermined narrow width;
• and
• e. a wear layer of solid rubber having a width substantially equal to or greater than said bonding layer, said wear layer having a hardness greater than about 60 Durometer (on the Shores A scale).
