A radical new tyre design by Michelin. The next generation of tyres. Yes, those are 'spoke-like'connection fins to the inner part of the tyre from the outside tread 'wrap!' These tyres are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for Police and other law enforcement is that stinger spikes will not work on these. Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. No more air valves ... B. No more air compressors at Gas stations ... C. No more repair kits ..... D. No more flat tyres ... E. Less expensive and more money in the driver's pocket.

This is quite an old research development.
Not "quite" made the tyre stores yet though......
Cheers,

I saw these on sale @ Bob Janes, not suited to off road use, not suited for towing, seems the only this they are in rteality anygood for is to make your car look atrtractive to thieves, and exceptional value for hooning, burnouts etc. They were retaling at $7500 for 4, I think I'll stick to conventional tyres..
