Michelin tires. These tires are airless

"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"











Thats E_Andree testing out the wheels at a local auto X track.

I'd rock em on my s.

I remember reading something about those a while back - didn't know they were coming out this soon, though.

Neat stuff - any idea how much they'll cost compared to typical tires?

I wonder if these will be retreadable or not..

I think they are neat. The question would be whether they patented it (dunno patent laws, whether a change on another idea would be allowed or whatnot). If it does come out, I wish you could have like a cover over the sidewall, cuz it looks kinda freaky lol.

thats a neat idea, but yea, looks ugly as hell

As popular as rims are now, they'll have to improve the appearance of those things before they'll sell.

all they need to do is market them right.

i dunno how many times ive seen this posted

I would assume they'll look like normal tires - otherwise, it would be relatively easy for something to get caught in the 'spokes' of the tire.

it probally does have a cover. its just expose to show the inside.

Ehh very cool technoloy, but the look really sucks. lol

its new, so i have my doubts, everything has "kinks" when it first comes out. Just have to wait and see.
