MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT OF SELF-SUPPORTING SPOKE STRUCTURE FOR NON-PNEUMATIC TIRE

A non-pneumatic tire includes a lower ring having a first diameter and an upper ring having a second diameter. The upper ring is substantially coaxial with the lower ring. A support structure connects the lower ring to the upper ring. The support structure is made up of a plurality of spokes. The support structure is arranged and configured so that adjacent spokes of the plurality of spokes contact one another upon the occurrence of a high impact event.
