Abstract
A wheel for a toy vehicle, the wheel comprising an axle hub defining a wheel axis of rotation and a rim with an inboard flange and an outboard flange each having an outer diameter. The wheel further comprises a primary tire forming the tread of the wheel with a tread diameter and a tread width. The primary tire is attached to the axle hub between the inboard and the outboard flange such that it rotates with the axle hub. The wheel further comprises an outboard slip ring rotatably mounted between the primary tire and the outboard flange so that the outboard slip ring can rotate with respect to the primary tire about the wheel axis of rotation. The outboard slip ring has an outer diameter smaller than the tread diameter and larger than the outer diameter of the outboard flange.
