The instant invention relates to a wheel disassembly safety system for a multipiece wheel rim (3 and 4) and tubeless tire combination, teaching designs for automatically relieving/releasing pressure as part of its disassembly. Fastening elements (6) used to hold together portions of a wheel rim are provided with a blocking device (20) that prevents loosening and/or removal of the fastening elements until said blocking device is first moved from a blocking position, where movement of the blocking device from its blocking position directly or indirectly opens or requires the opening of a pressure relief channel or channels (23) - allowing, enabling and effecting depressurization of the sealed pressure vessel. This blocking or safety device, typically in the form of a ring, covers all or a critical portion of the nuts/studs (6) that hold the two wheel pieces together. The act of removing this blocking device so as to access and remove the nuts from the studs to disassemble the wheel, opens an air channel in communication with the tire interior so as to allow pressure to escape from the tire interior.
