US Patent Office Allows Patent Application for Run Flat Tire

Amerityre Corporation has received notice from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that its patent application for its “Run Flat Tire with an Elastomeric Inner Support” has been allowed with 11 claims. “The allowance of the application is signification because most of the tyre companies today are trying to establish a ‘run flat’ system,” said Richard Steinke, Amerityre’s CEO. “This design will carry the load well beyond the 50 miles currently targeted by the industry,” he added.Mr. Steinke further stated, “Two years ago we developed ‘air-no air’ automobile tyres that we drove for over 500 miles with zero air pressure and several holes in them. We have been building on that technology to create both a ‘run flat’ system that operates with existing pneumatic tyres as well as developing an ‘air-no air’ tyre without mechanical assistance.
