........or these. I actually worked on this project. It is what Michelin's setup is based off of. :geek:

That's cool, looks a whole lot lighter too. I wonder what the holdup is on those kinda things, price or weight or that you're stuck with their rims :shrug:

Wow, that looks like a killer tire. No more flats but youre rite I bet they are more than tire balls and they all wear. At least you can reuse tire balls or just do what Im doing and get wal mart balls. We will be selling them (Both) once I get the site up and ready for orders!

we have had the "no flats" tyre over here for a while... im sure you guys have too, its just not been heard of much.

 

we had a set on the utility quad before we got rid of it... they are the best things in the wolrd IMO... just expensive!

i seems the supports to keep the tread stiff and act as the side walls will wear out very fast? although that would be very nice whil it worked

There is a defoinite fatigue life for the tread support matrix. It is a bit less than a normal pneumatic tire in "normal use" on the tire dyno. The technology and development behind that isn't quite there yet. When it gets there, you will see every military vehicle in the use arsenal rolling around on that type of tire and wheel system.

 

On a side note, that system is alot more resilient to mine explosions.
