FIELD: automotive industry. SUBSTANCE: proposed tire contains tube designed for use in low-profile tires which are divided into at least two parts by means of inner wall passing in equatorial plane and defining borders of central core, and two side walls of said tube. Core contains said wall from ends of which two flanges pass square to wall proper in opposite directions over preset length. Ends of flanges and side walls are interconnected by curing, rigidity of core exceeding rigidity of side walls. Tube is designed to support tire not in period of its normal operation, but in partially deflated state, for instance, if one of parts of tube is blown off. Tube is capable of stretching inside available space between tire and rim. EFFECT: improved safety of low-profile tires in service. 27 cl, 10 dwg
