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
A…  no more air  compressors at gas stations
A…  no more repair  kits
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be awhile before they are available to the automotive industry.
