A multi-chamber tire (1), comprising an outer layer portion (11) and an flexible ring body (12) in an annular fashion; the outer layer portion (11) is arranged on the external side of the flexible ring body (12); the flexible ring portion (12) is provided with chambers arranged around the flexible ring portion; the chambers are provided with a plurality of partitioned gussets (14); each of the partitioned gussets (14) is arranged around the flexible ring body (12) and extends along the axial and radial directions, and the plurality of partitioned gussets (14) are arranged around the flexible ring body alternately, dividing the chambers into a plurality of isolating chambers (122) isolated from each other. The flexible ring body (12) of the tire (1) is provided with a plurality of isolating chambers (122); when an external object punctures the outer layer portion (11) and pierces one isolating chamber (122), the tire can still function and run in a high speed; only in the case that the puncture of adjacent isolating chambers (122) occurs many times, the tire (1) would become unsuitable for running in a high speed and require maintenance and repairing; thus the service life and the performance of the tire are improved.
