Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an inner circumferential barrier configured to be coupled to a hub, an outer circumferential barrier radially spaced from the inner circumferential barrier, and a support structure extending between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier and coupling the inner circumferential barrier to the outer circumferential barrier. The support structure includes a plurality of ribs extending between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier. The support structure at least partially defines a first axial side of the tire and a second axial side of the tire opposite the first axial side of the tire. The first and second axial sides of the tire define an axial width of the support structure. The axial width of the support structure varies as the support structure extends between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier.

Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an inner circumferential barrier, an outer circumferential barrier radially spaced from the inner circumferential barrier, and a support structure extending between the inner and outer circumferential barriers. The support structure includes a plurality of first ribs extending between the inner and outer circumferential barriers. The first ribs have a cross-section substantially perpendicular to an axial direction of the tire, with the cross-section having a first curvilinear shape, wherein the first curvilinear shape is a curve having either a single direction of curvature or a direction of curvature that changes once. The support structure also includes a plurality of second ribs extending between the inner and outer circumferential barriers. At least some of the first ribs intersect at least some of the second ribs such that intersecting first ribs and second ribs share common material at points of intersection.

The support structure includes a plurality of first ribs and a plurality of second ribs extending between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier. At least some of the plurality of first ribs extend from the first axial side of the tire toward the second axial side of the tire, such that the at least some first ribs terminate prior to reaching the second axial side of the tire.

Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an inner circumferential barrier configured to be coupled to a hub, an outer circumferential barrier radially spaced from the inner circumferential barrier, and a support structure coupling the inner circumferential barrier to the outer circumferential barrier. The support structure at least partially defines a first axial side of the tire and a second axial side of the tire opposite the first axial side of the tire. The support structure includes a plurality of ribs extending between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier, wherein the plurality of ribs define a plurality of cavities extending between the first axial side of the tire and the second axial side of the tire. At least some of the cavities each define an axial cross-section that varies at points between the first axial side of the tire and the second axial side of the tire.

Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an inner circumferential barrier configured to be coupled to a hub, an outer circumferential barrier radially spaced from the inner circumferential barrier, and a tread portion associated with the outer circumferential barrier. The tire further includes a support structure coupling the inner circumferential barrier to the outer circumferential barrier. The support structure includes a plurality of ribs extending between the inner circumferential barrier and the outer circumferential barrier, wherein the ribs have a cross-section substantially perpendicular to an axial direction of the tire, with the cross-section having a curvilinear shape.
