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

    Cette invention concerne un ensemble roue de véhicule, comprenant : 1) une jante de roue ayant deux joues de jante circulaires opposées ; 2) un pneu externe ayant deux talons fixés au niveau des joues de jante circulaires ; 3) un empiècement ; 4) un pneu interne sans air comprenant du polyuréthane thermoplastique expansé (E-TPU), lequel pneu interne est entouré par le pneu externe, l'empiècement et la jante de roue. Le pneu interne dans l'ensemble est dans un état comprimé (S1), lequel état est comprimé par rapport à un état détendu (S2) lorsque le pneu interne n'est pas entouré par le pneu externe, la compression étant telle que la superficie de section transversale (SA) du pneu interne, qui est perpendiculaire au plan du pneu, est plus petite dans l'état (S) que dans l'état (S2).
