A deformable wheel with non-pneumatic load bearing intended to equip a vehicle for rolling under extreme conditions such as those encountered on the moon and on Mars, includes a hub, a laminated annular strip including a plurality of concentric ferrules which are assembled with the interposition of interposing layers each composed of a material whose Young's modulus is 600,000 to 1,000 times lower than that of the ferrules, and a plurality of metal cables. Each cable connects the hub to the laminated strip while being fixed, on the one hand by an external end to the laminated strip, and on the other hand by an internal end to the hub by means of an elastic member making it possible to modulate the radial stiffness of the cables. Each elastic member is associated with an abutment able to limit its deformation.
