Airless Tyre

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





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 tyres.

This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology:
1. no more air valves...
2. no more air compressors at gas stations...
3. no more repair kits...
4. no more flats...

These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

























Fantastic, isn't it??!!

Anon,

Not surprised if it has been in circultaion for so long. I think a day will come when such technology will be a reality.

It is there....but inventor..told not to use it.
Just like plasma TVs..invented 40 years ago...by Telefunken.
USA government had to pay royalties ...not to manufacture it..to save Japan.
So this tyre ...suspended..will save few huge manufacturers...from closing shop.

Justin..Better talk cock and bull here.
Freedom of sppeches are being moderated at my disadvantage at Doc's
blog.
Maybe so you need to moderate me...when few will fly to your blog...and talk bullshit stuffs....needing me to hentam them.
But then..you do not talk much about dirty politics....so those guys will not come.
Furthermore....you are not famous..like Doc is getting....right now.
You remind me...2 years ago..like Doc's blog..only few visitors.
Now so many.
So..the more you get famous..the more you will have lots of problems...how to be fair to all.
Better talk sperm..flat tyres...chicken 'happy feet'.
One friend is better than a dozen bullshitters..I always say to myself.
I have few "one friend"...adding to so many.
I am contented.
Can we find that... 'ONE FRIEND' in blogging...Justin??
