To achieve substantial weight reduction as compared with a conventional link-type non-pneumatic tire while reducing rolling resistance and improving riding comfort and operability as compared with a solid tire.
The non-pneumatic tire 2 is mounted in a circulating mounted part 3 to form a wheel 1. The non-pneumatic tire 2 includes a tread 7 arranged on the outside in a tire radial direction relative to the mounted part 3 in a wheel constituting state, a plurality of link mechanisms 8 mounted in the mounted part 3 with a spacing in a circumferential direction of the tire and coupled with the tread 7 so as to be relatively displaceable in a tire width direction and tire radial direction relative to the mounted part 3, and ring-like members 9L, 9R of the tread 7 extending in the circumferential direction of the tire while coupling thereto the link mechanisms 8 adjacent in the circumferential direction of the tire and producing reaction force in response to relative displacement with respect to the mounted part 3.
