CH E CK OUT TH E S E TIR E S!
These tires are made in South Carolina , USA .

   "N E W S E E THROUGH TIR E S"

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

Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the  inner part of the tire& amp; nbsp;to 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 a irles s 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 in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

perhaps im giving up my chance at a patent, but think of the possabilities for a drag tire.  you can tailor the degree of "wrinkle wall" effect by changing the properties of the rubber support system in the middle.  You could have ridiculous wrinkle basically.  and they must be lighter too than a traditional tire.

Look like old wagon wheels from the old west. Maybe I'll get a stage coach to put them on! Looks like crap!
