Default Next generation of tyres!!

CHECKOUTTHESE TYRES!

These tyres are made in South Carolina , USA .






Radical new tyre design by Michelin.
The next generation of tyres.
They had a set at the Philadelphia car show.


Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tyre to 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 tyres 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.

The concept has been around for a few years now. I think it started out called the Tweel in 2005.

It's a novel idea like, but I wonder they handle at speed ect?. And I think they would look better with a side wall lobbed on innit.
