They are 2 piece wheels.They have a rim which holds a tire,tube and liner,then a ring that holds the tire,tube,liner on the wheel.The ring fits in a groove thats maybe 1/4 inch deep.If there is any dirt,rust,anything in the groove the ring will come off while inflating it.If the ring is damaged by beating on it with a tire hammer,or anything else it will come off while inflating it.There are cages made to inflate tires for the purpose of these kind of tires,because they can pop a ring off just because they feel like it,especially if you change a tire.I saw one come off at a shop where I worked.They were changing tires on the wrecker.I was waiting on cars at the pumps.Depending on which pump a car pulled up to I either walked through the shop or out of the office door.As I walked through the shop there was an explosion,I turned around and looked and the mechanic who weighed about 250 pounds was floating in the air about as high as the rafters,and as I looked he came crashing back to the concrete floor.He had been sitting on top of the tires that were laying flat on the floor while airing them up without a cage.He had to be taken to the hospital,never came back to work as long as I worked there. People walking beside the road have been killed by these rings. They were outlawed I thought.I think what they did was quit putting them on 3/4 ton pickups.Thats been about 20 years ago but there are still some out there.Lots of big trucks had them.When they went to radial tires I guess they decided they got so much better mileage out of them they would put them on Bud wheels without tubes and split rings,and that was in the early 80s. The worst of all were 3 piece wheels,in my opinion.Those could pop off at any time,and you couldnt tell when they were on right,or about to pop off.There even were split wheels.I think they outlawed them before my time.
