New Tire
 
6 Attachment(s)
They have been testing these for several years now. Resilient Tech was developing them for the military applicationAmazing new tires.........................
Michelin Tires... Absolutely SCARY looking... Look for 'em in August.
These tires are made in South Carolina , USA.
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 at the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

Road spikes aren't going to work on those tires. Police will have to develope a new counter tactic..

They're called Tweels. Good point FS. Definitely would have a balance problem!

We have tires similar to those on some of our equipment and when mud gets in them. The compressing of the tire rolls the the mud into what looks like turds and the fall out. Sorry no other way to describe it.
