A non-pneumatic tire (100) is disclosed comprising a radially inner ring (102) for contacting a vehicle rim; a radially outer ring (104); a support structure (106) including spokes (108) extending from the radially outer ring (104) to the radially inner ring (102), the support structure (106) being effective to transfer load from the radially inner ring (102) to the radially outer ring (104), the spokes (108) delimiting openings (120) in the support structure (106), the openings (120) extending in a width direction of the non-pneumatic tire (100); and a reinforcement structure comprising loops (118) of reinforcement cord, each loop (118) extending around one of the openings (120). Each spoke (108) has arranged therein radial reinforcement cord segments (118a, 118c) extending radially between the inner ring (102) and the outer ring (104), the radial reinforcement cord segments (118a, 118c) being lined up along the width direction of the non-pneumatic tire (100), and wherein along the width direction, the reinforcement cord segments (118a, 118c) in a spoke (108) belong alternately to a loop (118) extending around an opening (120) on a first side of the spoke (108) and to a loop (118) extending around an opening (120) on a second side of the spoke (108).
