The invention is directed to a non-pneumatic tire comprising a radially outer circumferential band portion, a radially inner hub portion, and a supporting structure comprising a plurality of spokes extending from the hub portion to the band portion. A radially outer foot portion of at least one of the spokes is mechanically interlocked with the band portion and/or removably mounted to the band portion. In another aspect, an attachment surface of a spoke is at least partially formed by a material harder than a polymer composition of the spoke. Furthermore, a portion of the band portion and the hub portion, which is adjacent and in contact with the attachment surface, is at least partially formed by one or more of the material and another material harder than the polymer composition.
