Self-correction, Those are NiMH batteries that cost roughly $800.00, which are 7/8" less deep than li-ion. Impact would have been much more jarring had he been on the updated batteries.
@MIGHTYcbu that is basically what a bike wheel is, they just found a way to integrate spokes that can fit around an existing hub style for a car, they obviously had to make them out of somthing other than thin peices of metal.
because never-flats (or run-flats as theyre acualy called) still contain air. They are essentialy a regular tire, with a hard rubber ring inserted into them. So when you have a blow out, there is still a rather harsh drop in ride hight (wich can cause loss of control), as well as a loss of the structual ridgity of the tire (wich can also cause a severe loss in control).
I would assume production tweels would have walls if only to prevent vandalisation and the freezing thing like PolluteLessDotCom said. That said, if they build a lorry tweel, I cannot help thinking that will save lives, when those tires explode lorries end up in the wrong place
i first heard about this 4 years ago from a michelin rep when i was working as a wholesale distributor. back then they had road noise issues. marketing wise, the tire and wheel have to sold together because the rubber doesn't simply mount to the rim like a normal tire. so michelin would have to have a contract on newly released vehicles for fitment reasons if this was to be cost effective. any older model vehicles i would imagine would be special order and be very costly.
I feel this has potential... it just needs time to be developed and refined.... like any other decent invention at it's inception. Give it some time guys. :)
Now why would tire manufacturers want to see a replacement for their current profitable tire industry that apparently uses less rubber, is more durable, and therefore doesn't need to be replaced as often?
Yikes those things would be hard to trust. But however, quite easy to check condition. I fear that hard corners would cause them to roll under, that means, the perpindicular force of the car turning sharp or hard enough in a emergency for example, could cause the wheel to malfunction, and thus cause you to keep going the direction you are trying to avoid, IE, a cliff.
very true. although i think its a cool idea i want the actual rim looking part to be a bit bigger not like 24 inch rims but this is just too small long story short. needs more silver.
cars are heavy..... ice in the spokes wouldnt be a problem. although extreme cold would have an interesting effect on the flexibility of the spokes. sorry i jumped on you.
@roflcoptergoesscisci there are other tires that spike strips wont work on. Solid race slicks for example, hold no air, they are solid rubber. A spike strip might tear up the rubber a little bit but having no air it wouldnt deflate and still be drivable. And race slicks would make those sports cars go even faster, as long as the road isnt wet. And BTW europe has faster sports cars than the US and slower police cars. With the exception of the italian lambo police cars in Italy.
wow think of all the air you save :p but seriously, why isn't this available for bicycles yet? with low speed and low weight it should be easier to develop than for a car.
@heathermillerdmz i used it correctly. if i didn't i'll need some kind of proof. i made a cursory check and inbred as a noun referring to a person produced by inbreeding is proper use. check the oxford dictionary.

Finally something different and more effeicient than the traditional 100 year old pneumatic tire.
Those sorts of cars usually have higher pressures, for which you would want a tougher tweel. The ones shown here are pretty soft.
@MIGHTYcbu that is basically what a bike wheel is, they just found a way to integrate spokes that can fit around an existing hub style for a car, they obviously had to make them out of somthing other than thin peices of metal.
if they use any pressure, the wheel can be punctured. The whole point with the tweel is that it's immune to punture.

looks good but...will it blend?

What happens when snow or ice or rocks get between those threads?

Главное можно не боятся проколов )))
The military's GOTTA have a hardon for this tech...
Такие покрышки были разработаны в России в 1963 году при подготовке к лунной программе и испытывались в Сибири!
I've already got some, they're really good, ta.
WIE GEIL IST DAS?!!!
can we use this kind of wheel for drifting???
I feel this has potential... it just needs time to be developed and refined.... like any other decent invention at it's inception. Give it some time guys. :)
can we drift?
@snelpiller I was wondering the same thing. This look like a cool technology reducing waste. It looks kind of cool too. I find it acceptable to use
00:48 what do they do?
Now why would tire manufacturers want to see a replacement for their current profitable tire industry that apparently uses less rubber, is more durable, and therefore doesn't need to be replaced as often?
watch when these become popular as kids start going around with branch cutters and cut all the rubber spokes
These tires are cool!
These tires are cool!

サイドウォールがタイヤのウィークポイントですからね～そのサイドウォールが初めから無いってのはどれだけのメリットか計り知れませんね…地雷踏んでもパンクしないタイヤってのが素晴らしい…
а как это чудо будет вести себя при температуре -40 гр. по цельсию и снеге?
They need to integrate those with the next gen hybrids!

@greasemo12 or you can't understand one. an unstoppable object meets an immovable object; what happens? when you figure it out MAYBE i'll reply.
they look like a good idea, and they look cool on a car, but i have never seen any before this, i wonder why?
Never get a flat. Awesome.
Then it would be nice to buy only the outside tire, so it would be cheaper than a conventionnal tire
if this ever goes to market it will be outlawed due to the fact that this is immune to police spike strips
I'm sure an equally innovative solution will be thought up for that problem...
Can't, when they finally are released they will be enclosed, so they'll look like any other tire.
Thats amazing!
very true. although i think its a cool idea i want the actual rim looking part to be a bit bigger not like 24 inch rims but this is just too small long story short. needs more silver.

It looks ugly. How do I mount this on my custom wheels?
Nah, they'll just make a knife strip instead. Slice the outer rubber ring and it wouldn't go much farther.
Dammit, when the hell are they going to make these for bikes?
This is interesting. Though I'm guessing it wouldn't be suitable for cars with really low centers of gravity.
the drifters had a good run.
It's been 10 years. And?
does that really matter?
Very cool !
Michelin is French, as me , cool
how to buy ? in the future ?
best regards
You don't need to put more air in. Ever. It's super low-maintenance.
umm were you not paying attention? they put explosives under it and it still rolled. you better be saying that sarcastically or you fail.

pretty sure it will flat spot the same as a conventional tires would
wow think of all the air you save :p
but seriously, why isn't this available for bicycles yet? with low speed and low weight it should be easier to develop than for a car.
@ButtPoopWiggle i'm sure it's been around longer than that...
So you watched it go over a landmine (Or similar explosive device) and keep on rolling?
Guess now you know why we need something like that.
that resisted a landmine! but a small AP mine
it makes the audi look sexy
Well, just wait for the final product
I don't like the way he bottomed-out on his segway, smashing those $1800.00 li-ion batteries into the cement.
I'd hate to see emergency stops with this product.
is ja mol interessant, haar ik nej dacht, datt dej techniek vaandaag al so wiet is, wenn dat uns tokummst dedütt, denn süd ik geern dorbi!
I see a lot of lateral movement in corning on that audi. That has to translate to poor handling characteristics.
they cant release these because in a car chase spikes wont work
well now the spike strips will doesnt work...
i want to someone put this in the next NFS!
depend on a vehicle weight,,,
full load is too heavy
Fuck... I had this exact idea when I was like 13... It looked identical in my head... FUCK!
I don't think water will stay in there very long.
@heathermillerdmz i used it correctly. if i didn't i'll need some kind of proof. i made a cursory check and inbred as a noun referring to a person produced by inbreeding is proper use. check the oxford dictionary.
Im sure re treading it will cost the exact same as a new tire.
Didnt know it was a law that things had to conform to spike strip damage.........
Me too.
Me too.
Me too.
have you seen a regular tire deformation?
F1 tire being tested, best tires in the world and some serious lateral movement.
W8UiE7yvO_M
These cant rotate over 50mph! they over heat, extremely loud, and shake dangerously over 50mph....not that good
I think they roll the tire over a land mine
you will have to wait
you will have to wait
you will have to wait

@greasemo12 you failed to even grasp the nature of the question.
So...can u do burnouts...?...
never ghet a flat tire
if you brack hard... say bye bye Michelin :) :)
@FenrirLupus Shit... Well either way.
they put a mine down
Beneath me- HORRIBLE PUN
or they could just find a new defense against them...
you mean understeer
easier to vandalize
