A tension-based non-pneumatic structurally supported wheel with reduced lateral stiffness having a compliant tread band and a plurality of web spokes for bearing the load in tension extending transversely across and inward from a compliant tread band for attachment to a hub. The web spokes have an increasing draft angle and decreasing width as they extend from the compliant tread band to the hub reducing the lateral stiffness of the wheel thereby reducing steering force feedback to the steering mechanism.
