A Tire For The Next Generation

I first heard about this tire last year. A tire that requires no air, no repair kits and supposedly are very durable as law enforcement spike strips can't hurt it.


The tires, made by Michelin, should be out on the market very soon... I think I may have to get used to the look though. If you look carefully at the pics, you can see how functional they would be in conforming to any obstacle on the road. A sort of accordian like appearance, the design works in unison to evenly distribute pressure among all of the flexible spokes.


These tires were originally for military and after years of research, they were able to make them for civilians - more presentable and more noise reduction. Civilians will most likely pay a higher price for these over traditional tires too.
