WHEEL FOR TRACTION VEHICLE AND TRACTION VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel for a traction vehicle where there is no risk to be cracked due to a traction in the case of a metallic tire, and the friction coefficient with a rail can be changed without exchanging the wheel for a tire in the case of the tire utilizing a hard rubber by devising the structure of the tire forming wheel tread by mounting to a core metal. SOLUTION: In the wheel 21 for the traction vehicle, an aluminum ring-shape tire 27 having a large friction force with the rail forming the wheel tread with the rail a is fitted to an outer peripheral surface 24 whose diameter is reduced toward the opposite other side to a flange 22 side of the core metal 22 having the flange 23 at one side, the tire 27 is axially pressed by fastening a pressure plate 11 abutted to the end surface of the aluminum tire 27 to the core metal 22 with bolts, and the tire 27 is fixed to the core metal 22 with the friction force by pressure contact of the inner peripheral surface 29 of the tire and the outer peripheral surface 24 of the core metal 22.
