The present invention is a tire airbag apparatus placed within a vehicle tire and disposed about its rim which will inflate to prevent the tire from completely collapsing in the event of a puncture or rupture. The airbag apparatus includes a circumferential inner tube removably mounted on the rim member and includes a tire damage sensor member and an inflator member. The inflator member is configured to be activated when the tire damage sensor detects a drop in pressure in the tire in the event of a puncture or rupture so as to inflate the tire. Thus, the tire airbag apparatus will allow the user to continue to drive safely over a given distance until the tire can be replaced or repaired.
