Michelin airless tires UPTIS
Michelin introduces an airless tyre together with GM 2024:
-
Had just seen that. Ugly but interesting. I find more than my share of nails.
-
It's cute... But how long do they actually last?
-
Supposedly comparable mileage to a conventional tire. Probably too early to really know.

It's going to be tough adjusting the air pressure for different driving conditions.

It's tweel. has been used for agricultural tires for years, came about when michelin developed pax tires for honda/acura. never came out
for cars, probably never will

Guessing that they will have sidewall if they become available. Won't be able to tell the difference from inflatables. Perhaps you can load some air then to adjust for load.

Wouldn't it be nice....
Saw this some time ago and they will get it going no doubt. Will put a dent in the whole tire industry from manufacturing to installing and repairing hope it doesn't get squashed by industry giants....

Can it be changed when worn out, or do you have to buy a complete new wheel.

If the " pictured tire above " had sidewalls it would act 100% different than without sidewalls …… That tire is supported solely by the flexible rubber spokes (?) ….. if it had sidewalls air pressure would come into play …..jmho …. Mike

Would have to have sidewalls here. Without, it would fill in spots with snow, ice, rocks, and mud. Couldn't keep a balance. Hard enough to keep the stuff out of the rims.
