A non-pneumatic tire includes an annular inner ring, an annular outer ring, and a support structure extending from the annular inner ring to the annular outer ring. The non-pneumatic tire further includes a tread disposed radially around the annular outer ring, and a bump stop radially extending from a radially outer surface of the annular inner ring. The bump stop has a radially outer surface. A first radial distance from the radially outer surface of the annular inner ring to the radially outer surface of the bump stop is less than a second radial distance from the radially outer surface of the annular inner ring to an outer surface of the tread. The bump stop includes multiple discrete pieces.
