An insert for a pneumatic tire assembly comprising a tire mounted on a rim, the tire having opposed sidewalls interconnected by a tread portion and the tire defining an interior volume with a width WPT and an interior surface. An annular member has a base portion, an outer portion and opposed side portions, wherein the annular member is adapted for insertion into the interior volume of the tire so that there is an empty space between the outer portion of the annular member and the interior surface of the tire at the tread portion and there is an area of contact between the opposed side portions of the annular member and the respective opposed sidewalls of the tire. The annular member has a width WAM that is greater than WPT as measured prior to insertion of the annular member into the interior volume of the tire, and the annular member exerts an outward pressure against the tire over the area of contact between the opposed side portions of the annular member and the respective opposed sidewalls of the tire.
