hope this isnt a repost, got it in an email today.. all i can say is
 : These tyres are made in South Carolina , USA . SEE THROUGH TYRES Radical new tyre design by Michelin. The next generation of tyres. They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.  Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tyre from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion....    These tyres are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these. Just think of the impact on existing technology: A..... no more air valves. B....... no more air compressors at gas stations. C........ no more repair kits. D. no more flats. These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

Pffffft... nothing new! I was in a public bus in Pakistan, trotting along the worlds highest tarred road till the bus pulled over....
This is what I saw.....  Note the 'spare'.... lol Perhaps they were also testing their racing slicks for high altitude endurance???

Mate, that tyre is shocking. As for the Michelin see throughs, they're not likely to see production as the plastic insert is still too brittle to ensure longevity. Yes, this idea has been around that long it has been debunked and abandoned.
