SEE THROUGH TIRES
Radical new tire design by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.

Yes, those are spoke-like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!'
The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion.

Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn't it?

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these..

Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. No more air valves.
B. No more air compressors at gas stations.
C. No more repair kits.
D. No more flats.
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.
sorry if this has been posted before, but wierd or what??
Better tell the local boy racers; they'll be out there wth their Stanley knives converting their tyres as I type......now where's my Neanderthal phrase book .
Such tyres do exist and have been dubbed "tweels". However, they are not new and Michelin has no immediate plans to release the tyres to consumers for use on normal vehicles. Development of the tyres over the last few years has focused on their suitability for use on low speed applications such as construction vehicles. Certainly, tyres based on the tweel concept may one day replace conventional tyres, but any such change is likely to be some years away.
