Yea, they have been playing with those for a while. I think the biggest obstacle left is that they create a lot more road noise than conventional tires.

more than likely its so you never have to worry about putting air in them, but theres no way thats cheap, my sisters slk has a spare thats similar to that, no air just a run flat

I could see maybe a spare tire application, but I'm thinking high performance would be out for sure.

it's called the "Tweel" and Michellin doesn't seem to want to give up. I've seen them on a 4-wheel bike and a forklift or something like that. Definately not for sports cars or our truck....imagine the expansion and then it'd fly off the wheel.....NEAT!!! :banana: maybe for something a bit more tame...let the SRT guys have it, I'll stick with my Nitto's, hah!
