Abstract
Vehicle tires with solid materials, such as rubber and polymer, are designed to increase the safety of the vehicle without the risk of having a flat tire. The tires are non pneumatic and have treads. The tires are for use on a variety of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, trucks, buses, aircrafts, earthmovers, tractors, trailers, carts, heavy equipments, and lawnmowers.

A non-pneumatic tire system for use with a vehicle comprising:
- a non-pneumatic tire assembly having;
- a non-pneumatic tire having;
- an inner circumference;
- an outer circumference;
- ribs;
- treads;
- and
- a tire-body;
- a rim having;
- an outer periphery;
- an inner periphery;
- and
- a rim-body;
- wherein said tire-body comprises at least one inner volume for holding a cooling medium, said at least one inner volume supported by said ribs;
- wherein said at least one inner volume comprises matter selected from the group consisting of foam and gel;
- wherein said non-pneumatic tire system for use with a vehicle comprises said non-pneumatic tire assembly, said non-pneumatic tire assembly for use on said vehicle;
- wherein said non-pneumatic tire assembly comprises in combination said non-pneumatic tire and said rim, said rim removably mountable to said vehicle via said rim-body, said non-pneumatic tire removably mounted about said outer periphery of said rim;
- wherein parameters of said tire-body of said non-pneumatic tire are defined by said inner circumference and said outer circumference oriented substantially parallel to a road-engaging surface, said outer circumference providing said road-engaging surface comprising said treads, said treads useful for providing positive grip on a road surface;
- wherein said tire-body of said non-pneumatic tire comprises a solid cross-section defined vertically via exterior walls substantially perpendicular to said road-engaging surface;
- wherein said rim-body of said rim is defined by said outer periphery and said inner periphery;
- wherein said rim-body of said rim comprises fastener receivers for fastening said rim to said vehicle;
- and
- wherein said non-pneumatic tire and said rim are balanced as said non-pneumatic tire assembly for safe transport of said vehicle between locations, said non-pneumatic tire assembly providing traction between said vehicle and said road surface while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock.
