Next Generation of Tires. WOOOOW
Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.

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
SCROLL DOWN & SEE.
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be a while before they are available to the automotive industry.





It is interesting that our forefathers came across this country on spokes and although these are flexible spokes, they're still spokes. What goes around, comes around...
