    Default Michelin See Through Tires

    Anybody seen or heard of these yet? and they are real, not just a joke or w/e.
    they look pretty awesome in a weird kinda way though.

    That is pretty interesting, but they need tire walls. I wonder if performance could be held high with that design.

    theyve been working on those for years. last i heard, they were trying to perfect the design so they could make production. i doubt they ever do b/c they super duper ugly.

    My grandma sent me a fwd with them in it, thought that its pretty interesting.
    you would think that they would have to be so stiff so they dont just give out, and that would make for a pretty rough ride.
    but im sure the people making them know more than i do lol

    i dont think u could mount them to any rim.. just by the design it looks made as a single unit, rim and all.

    Search for 'tweel'

    A proper one would need a sidewall, if only to keep shit from getting inside the 'spokes'
