airless tires

You may have seen it but Michelin has a new tire design that does not use air. Makes me think of the old steel trator rims.

I wonder how well they will hold up to say a long snake crawling into the tire or a stick or such. No doubt they have tested that.

airless tires

Skid steers have been using something like this but much more robust for years. Some have replaceable segments, others are one-piece. And you can see right through the sides of them, which is their claim to fame to take the rigidity out of them. Pricey too at about $3500 for 4.

Art, I could not find a link to the car driving with them. It will freak you out as the car looks to be clear of support.

airless tires

Oh boy! This will be the next rage with the wanna-be gang-bangers and tuners. I can still rmemebr the first time a few years ago when I saw hose spinning wheel covers on a car that had just stopped at a traffic light to my right. I almost crapped my pants and hit the brakes approaching the light (I was focused on the cars ahead of me) 'cause my brain could not reconcile seeing a car stopped BUT the wheels still turning! I thought we were gonna crash! Once I realized what had happened I felt like such a fool! And I could only laugh out at myself.
