The invention relates to a vehicle wheel assembly, comprising 1) a wheel rim ( 4) having two opposed circular rim flanges (5); 2) an outer tire (3) having two beads secured at the circular rim flanges (5); 3) a non-pneumatic inner tire (1) comprising expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU), which inner tire (1) is enclosed by the outer tire (3) and the wheel rim (4); wherein the inner tire (1) in the assembly is in a compressed state S1, which state is compressed as compared to a relaxed state S2 when the inner tire (1) is not enclosed by the outer tire (3), the compression being such that the cross-sectional surface area SA of the inner tire (1), which area is perpendicular to the plane of the tire, is smaller in state S1 than in state S2.

    L'invention concerne un ensemble roue de véhicule, comprenant 1) une jante (4) de roue ayant deux rebords de jante circulaires opposés (5) ; 2) un pneu extérieur 3) ayant deux bourrelets fixés au niveau des rebords de jante circulaires (5) ; 3) un pneu intérieur non pneumatique (1) comprenant du polyuréthane thermoplastique expansé (E-TPU), ledit pneu intérieur (1) est entouré par le pneu extérieur (3) et la jante (4) de roue ; le pneu intérieur (1) de l'ensemble étant dans un état comprimé S1, lequel état est comprimé par rapport à un état relâché S2 lorsque le pneu intérieur (1) n'est pas entouré par le pneu extérieur (3), la compression étant de telle sorte que la superficie en section transversale SA du pneu intérieur (1), laquelle superficie étant perpendiculaire au plan du pneu, est plus petite dans l'état S1 que dans l'état S2.
