I got it! Instead of tires, we could call them......tweels.

What do you guys think?

I think you and Michelin think alike. :giggle:

I saw this about a year ago. Cool idea. I'd like to see them deal with tires going off balance every time a pebble, mud, or snow comes in contact with the tweel. Maybe they had plans to put a sidewall on, I don't know, but as is, it's the last thing I'd put on my car.

snow would eat them up. but it's about time they started looking at tire concepts other than air filled. I mean. seriously. we have computers and everything, but can't put anything but balloons on our cars to drive on. just needs a bit of work from what i can see.

I like the spherical tire idea from that movie I, Robot.
