Michelin Develops Airless Tires

James Bond probably needs this airless tire. Some of guys from R&D team at Michelin develop a prototype for airless tires. Instead of the regular inflated tire, this tire has the traditional outer treads wrapped around flexible, yet sturdy spokes. Apparently these tires are going by the name “tweel”, which is completely stupid. Feel curious? Watch the video after the jump!
