    New airless Michelins

    I was told these are to be on the market soon. I don't know if I believe that, but the point is I have pictures...

      Too bad they delaminate around banked turns.

      I think theyd sell better if you could put them on seperate metal wheels, so I can still have 24"s on my Excalaaade.

                        I think that they will never replace the tires we use now. AT LEAST on the track. You cant adjust these easily as far as I know. With the tires we use now we can adjust tire pressure quickly and easily. Something that is valued in racing :)

                            AFAIK they will have a sidewall on em. But... I dunno for sure. Just something I've heard.
