Abstract
The invention herein relates to an improved tire structure comprised of a plurality of thin steel plates crisscrossingly arranged in the thick portion of a tire surface and an assembly of cover tire installed around the surface of said tire; the plurality of up and down crisscrossingly arranged thin steel plates form a shield along the circumference of tire that removes the worry of the tire being punctured by sharp objects on the roads when the vehicle travels, thus enhancing driving safety; the cover tire can be replaced after it is worn out without the need to change the whole tire, thus effectively reducing the consumption of rubber for tire production that makes the invention herein both economical and environmentally friendly.
