    Default See through tires

    A 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’ connection fins 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? Well, it is fantastic in the extreme!

    These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.

    The bad news for Police and other law enforcement is that stinger spikes 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 flat tires...
    E. Less expensive and more money in the drivers pocket.
