Next generation of tires?

[my2002lightning]

Anyone else seen these or have any info.? Nothing on the http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/index.jsp site or google, etc.

Assuming it's legit. and not a PhotoShop job, I'd be kinda' curious to see how they held up overall under R&D.

I kind of wonder what one of this design would look like to fit/handle the HP/TQ of a L. :D

Maybe in 30 years. Right now those are early, early concepts. A LOT of road noise, side stability is questionable, etc.

yeah, I read about those... "early concepts" is right.. I dunno, air is a good way to maintain lots of things... tho I can see them as being hybridized into air tires for run-flat capability

yep i saw that in popular mechanics a month ago or so, looked kinda cutting edge, but still a lot of r&d left
