I thought that concept came out 5 or 6 years ago?

Regardless, I'll stick with what works. Normal tires.

you may be correct. i really have no idea. i haven't seen them before but that isn't saying much. i guess they have been testing them for several years and suppose to be hitting the market soon...but don't hold me to that. that wouldn't put much metal in the wheel well...lots of dead space to look at...eeeks...jmo

5-6 years, at least. But just think how much easier it would be to admire your undercarriage!

And is that a Fikse wheel center on the Audi? Looks like a Profil 10...

Yes that is a Fikse Profil 10 on the Michelin prototype.

ummm, I'm thinking NOT a tire for mud/dirt/snow...Imagine just how out of balance that baby would get with a little mud stuck in the spokes.

Don't drive with those tires Ralphy...you'll shoot somebody's eye out!

oooh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge

Make a pretty good wheelbarrow tire.

Heck, it would save on TPMS anyway.

Another genuis solution to a problem that didn't exist?
