To improve the tire performance of puncture-proof, explosion prevention, safety and bullet-proof, a kind of new mechanical elastic tire(MET) used for vehicle is put forward. MET integrated tire and wheel combination is one of non-pneumatic tire (NPT) which has potential for improved handling, grip, low energy loss when impacting obstacles and reduced rolling resistance when compared to a pneumatic tire. The objective of this study is to analysis the structure and ride comfort of vehicle on the new MET. The MET is an innovative non-pneumatic tire. So, the structure and working principle of new MET with elastic rings and hinges are illustrated in detail. Mechanical relationship between the various components of the wheel will be obtained by analyzing the structure and basic principle of MET. The relationship of mechanical transmission of internal structure in the wheel is obtained under the wheels’ driving and braking working conditions. The vehicle model concluding the MET is built in the software ADAMS and the results is compared with those of a pneumatic tire. By researching the MET, we can get two results. On the one hand, the new MET has effective mechanical transmission characteristics, ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle. On the other hand, the vehicle concluding the new MET meet the comfortable requirements and ride comfort regularity of pneumatic tire. In high speed, the ride comfort of vehicle concluding the pneumatic tire slightly better than the new mechanical elastic wheel. The results of the research will provide the theoretical support for the further experiment of the MET.
