In other words, you can\u2019t get a flat. For the moment, the applications are limited to low-speed vehicles and another advantage is that the Tweel\u2019s configuration reduces unwanted bounce for smoother operation.<\/p>\n<p>What about for cars and trucks? Michelin\u2019s hard at work creating what will likely be the future of the tire, and mobility for your car. The Michelin Vision Concept is nothing short of mind blowing. Here\u2019s the easiest way to explain how they work:<\/p>\n<p>You have car. You have Michelin tires on your car. This upcoming weekend, you plan to leave the warm urban jungle and head for the mountains where snow is expected to fall. You \u201ccontact\u201d Michelin to let them know of your plans; they will recommend a tire tread pattern for your excursion. You head to the nearest Michelin 3D tire printing station and there, tread is printed on your tires. Simple, and green. The tread is sourced from bio-sourced and biodegradable materials like natural rubber, paper, wood, bamboo and all kinds more \u201cstuff\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Tweel, the Vision Concept is airless, so won\u2019t blowout. The inspired by nature design provides an interior structure capable of supporting the vehicle and will provide comfort and stability as well.<\/p>\n<p>A production version of this tire is not expected to hit the market for another 10 years so you still need to buy tires for next winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may have spotted a tractor or even a golf cart with some strange looking tires and wheels.
