    Default See Through Tires?

    SEE THROUGH TIRE

    Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires.

    They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.



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

    The bad news for law enforcement is tha t spike strips will not work on these tires.

    This is what great R&D will do, and 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...

    SCAN DOWN & SEE

    These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

    lol... hmm, not very good for motivation. Doesn't motivate me much. Maybe if you said that to all the new asshats running around the whoreslounge, they might be persuaded to do something. lol

    This has been posted like 4 differant times.

    I think these tires are a good example of money saving tech. No more holes to patch or valve stems to replace or air to check. But I wonder how they stand up in a performance test?
    TOO BIG

    I saw road tests on tv.

    They are just like normal tires with the exception that they make a lot of noise.

    Like...a lot.

    That was a couple of years ago, and im sure they have fixed the problem.

    This is not new news haha.
