Abstract
A vehicle wheel comprises a wheel rim and a pneumatic tire fitted to the rim, particularly a tubeless tire wherein the wheel rim includes seats for the tire beads. The rim seats include an elevated ridge which is spaced from the rim flanges and the tire beads have a generally corresponding configuration. With the tire fitted to the rim, the bead cores of the tire are located between the rim flanges and the elevated ridge. According to the invention, the rim is a 15.degree. rim with a 15.degree. seat surface between the rim flange and the elevated ridge. The side of the elevated ridge remote from the rim flanges extends at an angle of 15.degree.-40.degree. essentially in a straight line from the crown of the elevated ridge in a direction inwards towards the rim center. The invention also relates to a wheel rim having rim seats and elevated ridges of the same configuration.
