- reusable base structure for retreading
- improved shock and road hazard resistance

:lmao: My thoughts exactly. From what I understand after a little further reading, Michelin actually wouldn't market the Tweel like this, but would sell them with sidewalls. Apparently the pics I posted were simply to show off the technology. If that's the case, I'm on board.

saw these awhile ago on some future car show on Discovery, neat idea but weird looking.

i remember seeing these a long time ago, maybe 6 or more years.

do they come in 22s?:thmsup:

These are not new news........, in fact quite old, it goes back to 2005/2006 time frame, see http://www.michelinmedia.com/default/kw=MCHtweel

I seem to recall it being mentioned here on DA some time ago too.

In any case it has not made it into the market.
