The present invention relates to a two piece pneumatic tire comprising a
carcass and a removable tread belt disposed radially about the periphery
of the carcass, the tread belt and carcass meeting at an interface
between a radially outermost surface of the carcass and a radially
innermost surface of the tread belt, wherein at least one of the radially
outermost surface of the carcass and the radially innermost surface of
the tread belt comprise a self lubricating rubber composition, the self
lubricating rubber composition comprising at least one rubber and from 1
to 50 phr of at least one additive selected from alcohols of formula I,
esters of formula II, or amides of formula III ##STR00001## wherein
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from C.sub.12-C.sub.36
alkyl, C.sub.12-C.sub.36 alkenyl, or C.sub.12-C.sub.36 alkadienyl.
