  • Patent number: 11987078
    Abstract: A buoyant vehicle tire device for facilitating driving in muddy soil includes a tire having an exterior wall and a pair of side walls is attached to each one of a pair of side edges of the exterior wall. A vehicle rim is sealed against the end edge of each side wall and encloses a pressurized space between the side walls and the exterior wall of the tire and the vehicle rim. A valve is coupled to the vehicle rim and is in fluid communication with the pressurized space. A plurality of depressions is positioned on the exterior wall and is pushed out from a first position to a second position when the pressurized space receives additional air. The first position of each of the depressions has a container space receiving air when driving in muddy soil, wherein the depressions provide buoyancy to the tire in muddy soil.
