Abstract
A non-pneumatic wheel () including a hub () and a non-pneumatic tire (), as well as a method for mounting the non-pneumatic tire () onto the hub (). The hub () is formed, with grooves () that receive the radially-inner ends () of spokes () of the non-pneumatic tire (). To secure the tire () onto the hub () during assembly, the grooves () with the radially inner ends () of the spokes () received therein are pulled radially inward to decrease the diameter of the hub () and increase tension in the spokes ().
