Radical New Tire design by Michelin

Check these out.

Thought you might like to see the next generation of tires. They had a pair at the

Philadelphia Car show.

Attached are pictures of the new Michelin tires.

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.

This is what great R&D will do and just think of the impact on existing technology:


a.. no more air valves
a.. no more air compressors at gas stations
a.. no more repair kits
