These tires will probably be sky high in price for awhile like when flat screen TVs were when they first came out. Would love to have these but will wait awhile until they become cheaper.
We have a set on our kabota at work. I was told they are around 700$ each. So far we love them. Very smooth and a lot of traction. Only issue we see is the transition from the road to the shoulder causes it to jerk you on or off the road quite quickly. Keep in mine we can only go the max speed of 18mph in our kabota. Tires are rated at 55mph on ours and 700lbs max load..
@@KokoroKatsura There's always high end expensive stuff. High end tube tvs were comparable to plasma/led tvs when they came out. The point is that today nobody has a tube tv anymore since flats are so cheap.
This is pretty old, over a decade and maybe older. Saw a demonstration on some military hum v or something like that. Pretty cool to see this is “new tech” to some people. Military definitely has some crazy toys we don’t know about. Wonder how well and long it could perform in daily driving and highway speeds
This was a random video that was recommended to me but I'm very impressed by the tires. Got Michelins on my mustang! Also love the future vision! Thats progress baby
Impressive visuals - using the Uptis on construction equipment would likely be one of the most demanding places for a sidewalless tire. Can you imagine all that debris interfering with the flexible 'spokes'. Congregations Michelin, doesn't look like you're holding back on any of the testing. Next up driving in Michigan. Bravo, for taking the fast route!
They run these on skidsteers here. They have their good and bad points. EXTREMELY heavy compared to regular tires and rims. I have to remove these from equipment, sometimes, and always dread it.
I could see that If these airless tyres could be inserted inside of standard tyres like a run-flat system, then they can truly be applied for high speeds and not just commercial, military and industrial applications.
Add a softer biodegradable polymer to fill in the gaps and to stiffen the tire for added performance handling reduced flex under load, and to prevent debris from entering the sidewall mud/snow
Pneumatic tires actually have the better ride when properly inflated. With a pneumatic tire, the entire tire absorbs the shock everytime. With a tweel the shock is only absorbed by the part of the tweel that made contact with the bump.
If there are all the same then it will balance themselves as snow will fill each of them on every gap , that is the pour poise of winter conditions driving that is to adapt and not think is summer .
The compression of air filled tires can go all the way down to zero, therefore it's performance is better. However, maintenance-free tires on well engineered roads guarantee a smooth ride without stops for puncture repairs.
As an ex-tyre fitter, couple of questions here. How would you get these tyres onto a rim? With some sort of large diameter press? Because I can't see any way that an ordinary tyre butler would be able to spin it onto a rim without seriously damaging the wheel rim or bending the tool. Given that there is no air pressure forcing the tyre's bead onto the rim, how does it stay on? Is it epoxy-bonded to the rim or something? If so, that's going to be a living nightmare to change when the tyre is worn out, your 10-15 minute tyre change suddenly turns into possibly an hour or more, but also, what happens if that epoxy-bonding fails? If not, then what is stopping the tyre from walking off the rim at high-speed around a corner? Finally, how would you even balance these things? If there's some intention that these could be fitted to a road-going vehicle, then balancing the wheel becomes a serious issue for any sort of practical speed. With this tyre deforming as it does, if it doesn't spring back to exactly where it was, then it'll throw the wheel balance out on pretty much every axis after every slight impact at speed. Stop me if I'm wrong, but that could be dangerous at highway speeds.
I would like to get some of these tires, because in the city I live in,they don’t care about fixing up the streets. There are potholes everywhere. We end up fixing up our own cars, because the city leaders don’t care.
ive seen some on house construction equitment, not these exact ones but more filler looking ones and they were pretty beat up and still going. It was a heavy duty etended fork lifter
I’d like to know how they perform in winter weather. Like when they get ice inside them or snow and it freezes. Would they perform differently? Would they crack? Would they shake? Or would they just blow apart?
I was thinking the same thing. I'd imagine snow/ice would easily build up in these if a car was sitting. Sure will make for a shakey ride. That's why tires and rims get balanced.
@@peterah7957 If they add walls the tire would become a closed system like a standard tire. I could be totally wrong but my thinking is that making the tire a closed system would cause it to act like a standard tire and therefore negate a few of the benefits of the tires design.
In 17 years of driving I've only had 2 flats.... What would interest me more then this would be a tyre that you can quickly retread at a smaller cost then buying brand new
Not to sound a bit dim, but the hollow tyres, what happens in bad weather and the gaps gets filled with road grime, dirt and grit......surly this would cause an imbalance and cause vibration?? If not I'd buy.
Been wondering for years why tire companies didn't do something like this. But now I wonder what happens to the flexible 'spokes' when they've flexed several thousand times. It must wear on them. Will the tires start sagging, etc.
Great idea.........how does it handle mud real thick mud? W/thick clay & gravel mixed in? That I would love to see!🤗most tires don’t go through that but sometimes it is inevitable!🤔
@Aryan Sharma the way these tires deformed under weight leads me to believe that they would do something similar in a high speed turn, making the contact patch smaller and likely leading to understeer. Without a sidewall they wouldn't have enough rigidity to withstand the lateral forces. These tires do have applications, just not for performance driving.
Cute, but wont do much in snow and ice conditions. The tires will get fill with ice/snow and be unbalanced. Same with mud and dirt. Perfect for slow moving tractors and equipment
The foam imserts would squish with them and that alone would force snow and ice out. Would keep em warmer as well with brake heat and when you get to a warmer drier road would clean them out. Better then super singles that blow apart and rip everything apart. Costing more in repairs.
I dont think the interior/voids are normally exposed like that. In the first clips (with the truck, before the CAT) the tires look like a normal tire, with the interior covered. They used a exposed interior latter for demonstration purposes.
M Kreger I do material delivery for a construction company and I’ve actually seen these tires in multiple skid steers out in the job site. And yeah they do have little pebbles of gravel in them and no they don’t have covered sides, they actually look just like that at 0:49. I’ve never asked the guys about maintenance/durability or anything but they have them on even now during winter here in Utah so maybe they do okay on snow/mud? They look cool tho that’s for sure.

The rolling resistance on these bad boys looks pretty high. I think it will only be used for industrial purposes.

Great for construction and military use. It’s the only benefit I see that this will be used for only.

Forget spike strips on these tyres, just need a tangle net arrangement to bind up the wheels.

Most important questions: when and how much?
Soon and a lot
@@rocketlaunch99 wait till china do they magic
Around 700 each
700 is a good price for industrial applications
Just what is needed for our Grass Hopper mower. It's always getting flat tires. Even Prickly Pair Cactus needles can puncture the factory tires.
What a fantastic tyre for military vehicles.
Love the concept! Too bad you know they'll be too expensive for the average Joe...

rite2beararms how did you like the overall performance though for your skid steer ?and what other bad points do you have ?

Just Feels Good To Watch It

As a safety factor they'd be great if suitable for steer tyres. But the puncture proof tyres shown on the skidsteer have been around for 20+ years.
Good until u get ice and snow on the inside of them then ur tire becomes off balanced
So clear it out duh....
@@emeraldzebra9360 every kilometer get out clear ur tires and get back in, genius
@@shittytakes No need to do it every kilometer, if the snows that bad it will affect the whole tyre then won't it you moron!
Michelin said that whatever gets inside is thrown out by itself.
If there are all the same then it will balance themselves as snow will fill each of them on every gap , that is the pour poise of winter conditions driving that is to adapt and not think is summer .

Michelin: Smooth ride
*Proceeds to rock back and fourth*
Esse pneu será muito útil aqui no Brasil, pois os testes por que passaram essas máquinas são menos agressivos que nosso asfalto.
For heavy plant equipment maybe but will be impossible to keep balanced for road use
Yes People want them for their cars but dont understand the point. Side forces will be too high above like 60mph.
A blessing for get a way cars, thanks Michelin.

Классная технология.
Один только минус, а именно залипание грязи в отверстиях, создающий дисбаланс.
Wow these will put run flats out of business!!!
Dankbar.
this might be good if they add some cover on the outsides so stuff don’t get in between those lines lol

Very cool smart technology.
HOW DO THE TIRES WORK IN WATER, AND THE SNOW, EXTREME HOR AND COLD CONDITION???💯💪👊👍
they work fine
No problems in water. Traction is comparable to tracks.
same as any other tire.
I’d like to know how they perform in winter weather. Like when they get ice inside them or snow and it freezes. Would they perform differently? Would they crack? Would they shake? Or would they just blow apart?
I think they will be thinked before they sell.
They will have walls... They won't be like this
I was thinking the same thing. I'd imagine snow/ice would easily build up in these if a car was sitting. Sure will make for a shakey ride. That's why tires and rims get balanced.
What about mud? There have got to be some major drawbacks to this tire design not just pure bonus. Everything has it's pros and cons.

Fantastic
С нашей зимой мишлен прикурит. А идея хорошая!
Very suitable for ALL HEAVY VEHICLES incl lorries, buses ✅✅✅
These PUNTER PROOF tires have been around for quite a few years. Micheline is just now catching up.
Under patent, so, must be SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE.
They never have to sell a single one, and no one else can either. Tires that fail are too profitable.
Hoping this shit is gonna be available in next century

If they make the sides for them, it would solve things getting inside problem.

The rotation of the tyre should throw out most debris.

How about cornering performance??
I want to see them at lema.

People have been saying airless tires are kinda bad now
Great !
When will it be launched into the world markets?!? We are waiting for.
Never happen. It would put tire companies out of business.
Awesome :)
What about rocks mud and other debris getting stuck between the cracks???
Great step forward in tire tech. My question, with open side walls doesn't it create a opening for debris to enter and throw balance off?
I'm not an expert but my guess is that the aerodynamics prevent that
Assuming this is purely to show the inner workings of the tyre, likely that a production model would have a thin rubber sidewall to keep dirt out etc.
@@paddytotherescue7364 but the outer layer would have to stretch very hard in case it's twirling
What about the mud, snow or even the cold ???
Great invention, it reduce accident by blasting tyres, yesterday 19 people lost their lives by blasting tyre in my place
Love them.
Its good on driving school
How good is it in the mood or going over water
