Abstract

A wheel arrangement (1) for a motor vehicle comprises a rim (2) and a pneumatic tire (3) mounted to the rim (2), which confine a radially outer wheel portion to accommodate a first portion of air (V1) and a radially inner wheel portion to accommodate a second portion of air (V2), wherein the inner wheel portion and the outer wheel portion are connected to exchange air between the first portion of air (V1) and the second portion of air (V2). The wheel arrangement (1) comprise an actuation system (4), configured to modify an axial width of the rim (2). The tire (3) and the rim (2) are arranged so that an air distribution between the first portion of air (V1) and the second portion of air (V2) is changed, when the width of the rim (2) is modified.

Description

aerodynamics and minimum rolling resistance. Said vehicle speed parameter may additionally be stored in the memory unit 9.
[0032] In step 54, the vehicle may decelerate below the stored vehicle speed parameter, and consequently the control unit 8 may control the actuation system 4 to increase the width of the rim 2 and the suspension system 10 to raise the ride height to compensate for the change in the height of the wheel arrangement 1. If the vehicle hovers around the vehicle speed parameter, for example, below and above 55 mph, the distance between the rim portions 2a, 2b may change depending on whether the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating. The suspension system 10 may continuously compensate for changes in the ride height.
