Abstract: A pneumatic or semi-pneumatic unitary tire-wheel comprising a completely enclosed toroidal chamber bonded around a coaxial inner sleeve. A plurality of tie members are integral with and extend between the sidewalls to restrict lateral deformation thereof. Such reinforcing tie members may be hollow to give the appearance of openings between wheel spokes.
