Aug 8 2007Tweel Airless Tires

When they're in motion, the fins spin so fast that the tires look like they disappear and your car is floating. BadASS.

There's also a video available somewhere, but I'm lazy and you're the one getting paid to do this stuff.

wow. I bet this "vanman" is surrounded by chicks 24/7. And and I bet not all of them are one of his 8 sexy sexy sisters.

The cops will never stop me now. They think they're so tough with their road spikes... mumble...

vanman is dead sexy. I need those tires. Seriously are they available commercially?

#4: I think our friend GoodYear is probably suppressing them. I think they are in cahoots with BP. I swear to god the BP up the street sharpens its curbs, barely touched em and popped my brand new Potenza's.

The bastard child of a bike wheel and tire. Octosquid would be envious.

how do you slash them?

#8 if they're anything like a bike wheel, throw a metal rod in there and it'll make the car flip.

Here is a video, they look really sweet!

If you wanted to slash them, you'd have to slice through the flexible ribs. A few of them. But I bet it would be easily repairable. Unless you didn't notice. Then your tire would fly off while driving. But hey, FREE SPARKS!

I had actually heard about these at least a year ago but the Feds are probably suppressing a full retail release of them because they would render spikes and other tire popping methods useless.

you have a girlfriend? i'm disappointed.

the only real down side is that you have to buy the whole structure instead of just fitting it to your existing wheels. well that and the fact that it's hollow and looks stupid on a car...can you imagine a bitchin' camaro with tweels??!!.

#13, you stole the words right out of my mouth. :(

I was sooo gonna say it. lol

Duh... these tires have been around since the nineties. Probs you will never be able to buy them; if everyone has these tires, all airtire manufacturers will go out of business. Michelin will make them very expensive, so it will become the same hype as 'spinners' rims. Too bad, it's a great product.

you bunch are the most paranoid folks i have ever come across. why would a company like michelin develop them if they were going to suppress them afterwards ???? (??)

Just because they can't be popped doesn't mean that the tread won't wear out in 8k miles. The tire companies have nothing to worry about.

The tread can be replaced without replacing the polyurethane spokes. I think the only major complaint with this tire is that it is NOISY for speeds over 50 mph.

Coolies.
