They have been testing these for several years now. Resilient Tech was developing them for the military application.






Amazing new tires.........................

Michelin Tires... Absolutely SCARY looking... Look for 'em in August.
These tires are made in South Carolina , USA .

Radical new tire design by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.


Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion...


Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn't it?





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.
Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. no more air valves...
B. no more air compressors at gas stations...
C. no more repair kits...
D. no more flats...
These are actual pictures taken at the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

Ovo sam prvi put video pre sigurno 5 godina, mozda i vise... Isto je bila vest da ce biti prvenstveno za vojnu upotrebu, al nista novo se ne spominje, tako da pitanje sta se desava sa time..

Koji smor... Svi bi imali iste felge :smesko:

E ovo kupujem cim se pojavi, samo da mi klinci ne kradu vise kapice s ventila

Mada kakvih zlotvora ima, secice po parkinzima ove fleksibilne gumene odbojnike, samo da ti napakoste.

A jeeeeeesteeee

Will BMW move from run-flat tires to Michelin airless tweels?
http://www.torquenews.com/1083/will-bmw ... ess-tweels

No other automaker is as brave as BMW when it comes to trying new tire and wheel technology. A big move by Michelin has us wondering.



Michelin today made a very quiet announcement that caught our attention because we think it could be linked to BMW. The announcement by Michelin was about its “tweel.” This is a combination wheel and tire that does not use any air and has proven to be incredibly durable (see video). Like all innovations, the tweel will need to be adopted by an automaker – a brave one. One who is not afraid to try new tire and wheel technologies. No other automaker has been as brave as BMW when it comes to tires.

How are the Michelin press release and BMW ‘s bravery linked in my mind? Simple. BMW’s largest automotive manufacturing site on Earth is in Spartanburg South Carolina. BMW makes all of its X-series vehicles there. The X3 is one of BMW’s most popular vehicles, and X variants are now part of every BMW car line. Michelin just announced that it will open its new tire plant, exclusively dedicated to tweel production in Piedmont, South Carolina this month.

Rt. 85 connects Piedmont and Spartanburg. It is a straight shot and only about a 40-minute drive from one location to the other. Coincidence? Perhaps, but consider that the marketing so far for the tweel has mostly focused on durability and the tweel’s excellent resistance to damage. If Michelin and BMW are planning to market the tweel on some models, of course, it only makes sense that the tweel first be applied to sport utility vehicles.

BMW Run-Flat Tires
BMW is the first, and really the only, major automaker to embrace run-flat tires. This has earned the company respect, even from those, like this writer, who do not prefer BMW run-flat tires. BMW’s reasons for using the run-flats are logical. BMW has also broken new ground by using very unusual tires on its newest production vehicle, the i3 electric car. Those tires are extremely tall and narrow and inflated to higher than typical pressures. This allows the vehicle to roll more efficiently, and with EVs, every efficiency needs to be maximized. Although this challenges BMW dealerships to have unique inventory, it also drives replacement and maintenance sales for the dealership.

Michelin could have plopped its newest manufacturing location anywhere in North America. Due to NAFTA, there is no reason a location in Mexico or Canada could not have been chosen. The new plant is as close as practical to BMW’s largest production facility on the globe. Do you think it is a coincidence?

Ako misle da tako nesto bude upotrebljivo morace mnogo da porade na vizuelnom aspektu.

nešto ružnije odavno nisam video
možda je ok za upotrebu na vojnim vozilima, mada i tamo odavno postoje gume sa više komora.

Svi ti prikazi su namerno tako otvoreni da bi se videlo kako izgleda i koja je ideja. Najmanji je problem da se spolja zatvori da bude lepše.

To cime se "zatvara" isto mora da bude fleksibilno, tako da ce malcice teze moci da izgleda kao alu felna...

Pa izgledaće kao guma, neće biti baš niskoprofilna ali sam viđao i manji profil od ovog sa poslednjeg linka.

Neće imati ni potrebe toliko da bude niskoprofilna jer verovatno konstrukcija neće dozvoljavati bočno pomeranje ni približno kao kod klasične gume. Bar tako deluje.
