The present disclosure provides a non-pneumatic tire (1). The non-pneumatic tire (1) includes an outer cylindrical section (100) having a tire tread; an inner cylindrical section (200) connected to an axle of a vehicle; and a noise and vibration prevention spoke unit (300) connecting the outer cylindrical section to the inner cylindrical section. The spoke unit is continuously supported by a road surface during vehicle driving, thereby reducing noise and vibration. In the non-pneumatic tire (1), the spoke blades (310) are arranged at an angle, so that the spoke unit is continuously supported by a road surface during vehicle driving, thereby enabling reduction of noise and vibration while improving ride comfort. In addition, the non-pneumatic tire allows a designer to set lateral forces, as needed, as opposed to a conventional non-pneumatic tire, thereby enabling control of a leaning phenomenon caused by road structure. Furthermore, the non-pneumatic tire (1) allows a designer to easily set a lateral force according to an angle and direction of belt of an existing pneumatic tire through adjustment of an angle and length of the spoke blades.
