I assume it’s a prototype. People are talking about “snow getting caught inside the tires” but I think if it was for actual use, the veins wouldn’t show they would be the interior of the tires, and it would be surrounded by rubber.

What happens when you live up north, and get in your car when its been parked in frozen ice/snow over night, and the gaps in the tire are completely full of ice?

Are they really gonna sell puncture-proof tires with no sidewall, all open like that? Why not close it up so it’s smooth-looking? Imagine all the dirt and rocks that’ll get in there. Having it open is kinda ugly too.. It appears unfinished, like a cutaway. How come no one is talking about this? I am the weirdo in the room?
Vishesh Bhuptani

What about the mileage of the car? These tyres look like they are much flatter at the point of contact between the tyre and road – which is higher surface area in contact – so higher the friction and lower mileage. This is not an issue with normal tyres because at the right air pressure, the friction is minimal – but in these tyres, it might be an issue.

I love it but looks like it’s going to be a pain cleaning debris that are stuck between the gaps. Hopefully they will figure that out before making it available for all to use

I know a guy who has these kinds of tires on his lawnmower. He does nothing but complain about how much they suck. He gets stuck much easier, especially when making turns. They appear to have a significantly larger ground contact footprint, which makes me wonder if fuel economy will be reduced. I’m also not sold on the noise/ride comfort aspect.

My only problem with these is how stupidly long it’s been shown and talked about without a single option on the market for purchase. It’s nearly to the point of being stupidly infuriating that we’re still stuck with air-filled tires.

Yah well somebody else invented this Michelin has bought it and put it on the shelf for at least 10 to 15 years now when are they going to release it? There are so many great products that have been invented but these companies won’t release them. And they will fight you in court to keep them from being released.

its easy to figure out the cost. Take the cost of the 200 million tires saved and split it over the cost of a normal tire. They aren’t innovating to lose money.

The thing is that air tires surrounds a whole industry around the tire with air it’s not the new technology it’s already here it’s the industry that needs to change money?.
Jose O
October 11, 2021 at 8:25 pm
I think this tires should be stiffer. Imagine when you brake the wheel is just going bend that it might cause an accident. Also those openings in the tires might toss youre car in the air if its gets windy.
Doug Hull
October 11, 2021 at 8:39 pm
The concept is great, however…. sidewalls are absolutely necessary preventing foreign objects from entering?! They are! I drove an ATV with those tires, they worked, but after sliding around corners, medium sized rocks entered & needing to be extracted. Additional trailside maintenance, no thanks!
In a cold environment when ice would absolutely accumulate within those open tires on a car, severe imbalance? Yes!! Wow, Michelin isn’t considering the the obvious.? Driving in slush, arriving home in a Connecticut winter, getting up in the morning & your open sidewall tire is half filled with ice? Getting it freed up by whatever means, & time, then large chunks could still be sticking out on the inside ripping out brake lines on the first tire rotation, is Michelin considering any of this?
The concept is great, however in my humble opinion… sidewalls, a structural benefit.. & a filtered venting system are a necessity!
I like a smooth cruise, Yabba Dabba Doo.😉

Great until you drive through snow, sand, mud, etc and the gaps fill up with whatever you drove through and mess up your car with the imbalance of weight

We also want to know how much traction they’ll get in launch mode, and how many varieties will be required for the full range of loads and vehicle classes. One great thing about air-filled tires, is that you can calculate or adjust ‘hardness’ by air volume/pressure, and density of material.

You can’t have an open sidewall because of contamination, snow, dirt etc that will also create serious imbalances.

I’d like to see what happens when a puddle freezes around the tire and in these spokes. There will need to be a cover to keep ice and debris out. How long do the spokes remain flexible and what happens when the treads wear out?

I remember them coming out with this like 10 years ago. I am sure tire companies do not want these out on the roads because it would be terrible for business. And money and greed will always win out.
