A pneumatic tire has modified dimensions and/or materials characteristics and is designed and constructed for use in place of a conventional, standards-meeting tire of a standards-meeting tire/rim combination. The rim has a bead seat with an outer diameter established by a standards-setting organization to mate with a conventional tire. The modified pneumatic tire has a bead of an inner diameter established by: a) determining a conventional radial force exerted by the bead of the conventional tire on the rim, and b) setting the inner diameter such that, when mounted on the rim the bead exerts on the bead seat a modified radial force between 5% and 25% lower than the conventional radial force.
