G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Michelin X Tweel Tires, Future Tire Today! Michelin for the last 10 plus years has been playing with an airless tire. The goal has been a tire that has no air valves, no more need for air compressors at gas stations or any auto dealership or repair place, no more repair kits and no more flats, ever! We have seen many presentations by Michelin at auto shows over the years presenting various proto types but for the most part the story has been the same. With this we went through stories about the Military exploring this as a better way to deal with unknowns in the war zone / deployments. Testing is still going on today. There has been many marketing presentations from Michelin showing their testing. Today Michelin has in the last few months finally went main stream and you now have the official web site. MICHELIN® X® TWEEL® Airless Radial Tire Web Site Michelin X Tweel Images on Bing The web site shows that they have them available for select applications on Tractors, lawn mowers, golf carts, Fork Lifts, ATV's, etc. Auto's are stated to be coming fall 2017. It is really amazing to see and the life of these tires is far longer and totally recyclable. Some very big gains over traditional tires. What do you think? Is this Awesome Cool Tech or DOA, takes away from the look of the car and what? Sound Off Peeps!
