Abstract: A pivotable ground pad tyre includes a tyre for mounting on a vehicle wheel and a plurality of ground-engaging pads disposed around the circumference of the tyre. Each pad is capable of at lease a limited angle of rotational displacement about a substantially radial axis R of the tyre such that the tyre may turn through the limited angle of rotation relative to any pad currently in ground contact, each pad being returned resiliently to its undisplaced position when the pad has moved out of contact with the ground. The pads are pre-mounted on at least one resilient strip which is secured around the circumference of the tyre.
