Abstract
Road tubeless rims may include a pair of circumferential flanges having inner tire seating surfaces that are nonconcave and angled toward the centerline. Tubeless tires mounted to the illustrative rims may achieve improved sealing performance due to an increased seating area of the rims. A shape and angle of the flanges may shape the tire to achieve an aerodynamic wheel profile.
