Check out this radical new tire design by Michelin. Apparently, this new tire concept was unveiled at the Philadelphia car show.

Aleegially, these tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. What soon actually means is anyones guess, the fact that spike strips will not work on these tires, may have an impact on their approval for release.

But if the ride is right…

• no more air valves…
• no more air compressors
• no more repair kits…
• no more flats….

Awesome!!!!

These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin, (which I received via email).
