The Tire of the Future
Wonder if they'll make mud- and off-road tires like that as well....

Re: The Tire of the Future
sort of tread like... probably pretty close to puncture proof, though I bet offroading it would cake right up solid with mud...

They have a similar one for 4x4, but it's honeycomb instead design instead... Were designed for army vehicles, bullet proof and much more.

Re: The Tire of the Future
I read that this was just for the prototype, the final version would have sidewalls to prevent this and road noise. IIRC, the open sides were just to showcase the technology.Green1 wrote:sort of tread like... probably pretty close to puncture proof, though I bet offroading it would cake right up solid with mud...
