Abstract: Disclosed herein is an airless are which absorbs shock and holds pressure applied to the tire through an auxetic spoke buffer without using air pressure. The airless tire includes a cylindrical tread being in contact with the ground, an axle fixing section having a smaller circumference than the tread and disposed inside the tread, and an auxetic spoke buffer connecting the tread and the axle fixing section and providing a buffering function. Accordingly, the airless tire is transformed only to an extent to properly function as a fire when the spoke buffer is transformed by pressure or impact and fully returns to an original shape when pressure or impact is removed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tire-reinforcing steel cord for a radial tire. The tire-reinforcing steel cord has a double layer structure including a first-layer core and a second-layer core provided on the surface of the first-layer core. The first-layer core has an elliptical or rectangular cross section. The tire-reinforcing steel cord can improve processability, fatigue characteristics, and rolling resistance performance of a tire, resulting in improved fuel efficiency. A radial tire using the tire-reinforcing steel cord is also disclosed.
