very interesting........ although they look fuckin wack
Gday this is from an email which my dad received from CAMS, i thought some of you might be interested if you dont already know about it.
Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires.
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 tires.
This is what great R&D will do, and 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
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

Very good idea, however i think it needs some improvement on the tire wall... maybe a cover or something on the out side so it looks like a normal tire
looks like 19th century carriage
ive heard nothing new since i saw this over a year ago![]()
yeah it was in the sunday mail a while ago.
good idea but needs sidewalls covers or sumthing. and whats with the first pic it looks bent (flexable spokes) i wonder what the spokes are made of?

i wish i had enough money for a freaking corolla
that is the gayest looking thing ive ever seen :s
how the hell do you stretch that over a wide rim?
Old news.
I can't really imagine that these would do your handling any favours, but then again, you never know.
These will probably be released for light duty work, on things like wheelbarrows / sack trucks initially...
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
Speak the English guys!!!
TYRE, not tire.
WHEEL, not rim.
Oh, the irony ....
