Michelin Tyre

[jiffo]

We first saw these things on military spec Hummers.

Now supposed to be available to the general public in August.

Doubt they would be any good for skids no thanks

[GTR-N1]

Being "spike-proof" G, will the police object?

[GTSBoy]

Oh. Another year, another mention of these things.

Will believe when seen in the flesh.

No idea Terry, probably the same argument could apply to run flats?

I think their price will be through the roof though, great for the military with unlimited budgets but I have my doubts about use by the average car owner.

Already we have tyre companies refusing to re-fit tyres older than 5 years. Those of us with garage queens are in trouble as soon as a tyre repair is needed, we have to source a 'suitable' tyre fitter/balancer.

No doubt these things will have a long "spoke" life with Michelin applying the equivalent of a Bandag onto worn out units.

I imagine they'd brand them NWR after a certain number of Bandags or years, same as they do presently with conventional cases.

Bit hard to let your 4X's tyres down on the beach though.
