Have been used on lift trucks in areas where there is a punctured hazard since at least the early 90s there is also a variation used in military vehicles that is a sort of inner tyre inside a conventional tyre that only take load when the peumatic tyre deflates.

Now where did I put my Dunlop Denovos ?
