Check out the Tweel -- no more flats

[ainsane]

I don't think this would be safe for highway driving... high speed cornering.. you know how soft the tire gonna be.. its gonna be wiggling left and right... if its loose like that.. and might just break off if you turn fast enuf..

Not true. As I was saying in a previous post, they can supposedly corner really well and also have a soft ride. This is from an article on the tweel at gizmag.com.

Michelin has also found that it can tune Tweel performances independently of each other, which is a significant change from conventional tires. This means that vertical stiffness (which primarily affects ride comfort) and lateral stiffness (which affects handling and cornering) can both be optimised, pushing the performance envelope in these applications and enabling new performances not possible for current inflated tires.

i can see it now on a news site

POLICE SWITCH FROM TIRES ON VEHICLES
but don't think you can out drive (or should that be ride) them with their new Tweel bike wheels for vehicles from Michiline.

There also might be different types of them. One for Summertime and the other type just for snowy weather...
