    Check these tires out

    Apparently they are made by Michelin. Any info on these.



    Kinda cool, I wonder how a car feels with these "tires"

          Seems like they have the potential to be really dangerous. What about people who drive these puppies till they where through? or if the inner spokes get debris in them? I do think they're pretty cool and want to know more.

          Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

              My question is what the fuck holds them to the wheels?

              Special wheels or....

                      OLD news. Michelin came up with these years ago. They are called a Tweel.

                              I like how the tire spokes and the wheel spokes line up. Wonder how it would look with black wheels?

                                  The tweel is a awesome idea. Look them up on you tube.
