Disclosed is a combination flat-proof tire and low friction insert having particular application for use on a motorcycle. The insert is preferably manufactured from a resilient (e.g., closed cell foam) material. The insert fills the tire and is movable relative thereto. A low friction sleeve surrounds the insert so as to reduce both friction and heat at the interface of the insert and the tire to minimize the degradation and replacement of the insert. By way of example, the low friction sleeve is manufactured from a smooth textile material having a thickness of about 0.005 inches. In one embodiment, the insert is separated into a plurality of compressible segments aligned side-by-side one another around the tire. Relatively hard spacers are located between adjacent pairs of the insert segments to apply compressive forces to the insert segments in response to road conditions.
