Pretty cool looking new tire tech coming from Michelin. They supposedly had a pair of them at a car show in Philly recently. If testing goes positively, they will be marketed soon. Only real negative to them is Andy won't get the intended result of his tack strips if these go mainstream

I don't really care for the looks of these but I wonder which manufacturer will be the 1st guinea pig to start selling cars equipped with them...

Man that's wild! Is the wheel rubber too? Can't imagine how they would act in the winter when freezing temps react with that rubber.
Well, at least you'd never have to worry about underinflation problems.
