Abstract:
An airless tire includes a tread ring, a hub positioned on radially inner side of the ring, and a spoke structure including polymer material and connecting the ring and hub, the structure including spoke pieces arrayed in circumferential direction. Each spoke piece has a tread connecting portion, a hub connecting portion, and a spoke curved portion between the tread and hub connecting portions, each spoke piece has straight radial length LSb of at least 1.05 times straight radial length LSa and curved radial length LLb of at least 1.03 times LSb when positioned at 0° on coordinate around the tire axis where a perpendicular line extending vertically upward from the tire axis is set 0°, LSb is measured along the base line under base-load condition, LSa is measured along the base line under no-load condition, and LLb is measured along a curve of each spoke piece under the base-load condition.
