2. Description of the Related Art There have been many examples in the past where a core assembly has been mounted on a rim. However, most of them are fixed to the rim with bolts etc., so run flat (low internal pressure running)
At the time, there is a disadvantage that the circumferential length difference between the tire and the core assembly causes friction between the tire and the core assembly, and the tire is easily damaged.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The aforementioned JP-A-2-24
In a rotating core assembly such as the 6811, tire breakage can be prevented by slipping between the rim and the core assembly. However, the contact surface between the core assembly and the rim well of the core assembly will wear due to friction during run-flat at high load or high speed within the practical range of the tires equipped with it, causing vibration. There is a drawback that running occurs and the vehicle cannot run. In addition, there is a disadvantage that deformation or destruction occurs early on an unpaved road, and the run flat distance is significantly shortened.

It is an object of the present invention to obtain a core assembly for a pneumatic tire which is lightweight and has excellent steering stability during normal running.

The pneumatic tire core assembly of the present invention rotates integrally with the rim during normal running due to friction between its radial inner end and the rim well. At this time, since the arc-shaped body constituting the pneumatic tire core assembly of the present invention is hollow, it is lighter in weight than a conventional core assembly, and steering stability does not deteriorate. When the internal pressure of the pneumatic tire decreases due to puncture or the like, the pneumatic tire collapses on the ground contact side, and the inner surface of the crown portion comes into contact with the radially outer end of the core assembly. At this time, the core assembly supports the pneumatic tire from the inside to prevent the pneumatic tire from collapsing, enables the pneumatic tire to run (run flat) in a state where the internal pressure is low, and is provided by the pneumatic tire. The force causes the rim to slide and rotate over the well, preventing friction between the inner surface of the crown of the pneumatic tire and the radially outer end of the core assembly.
