Michelin's new
"airless" tires. Is this a hoax or has anyone seen/heard about them?
Hi Mark,
Some at Michelin are serious about these tires. I saw them at the 2005
Detroit Auto show and got a description and demonstration from a very
enthusiastic
young Michelin engineer. I have doubts that the spokes would survive many
miles and they must excite a vibration in the car. Actually four identical
frequencies at different phases.
