These tyres are airless. They are scheduled to be on the market soon. Bad news for law enforcement as spike strips will not work on these.
Think of the impact on existing technology:
A. No more air valves
B. No more air compressors
C. No more flat tyres
D. No more puncture repairs
E. No more jacks or spares required.
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.
