New Tire by Michelin?

[GWguy]

From an email I got. Made my Michelin in South Carolina. No flats, no air, no leaks..... email said they were displayed at the Auto Show (??) and to look for them in August this year.

Any one else see this as a problem for the use of stop sticks??? And which vehicles will they most likely be seen on first?

Yea, pretty much renders stop sticks ineffective. That's about as ugly as you can get. Why don't they put side walls on it.

Why don't they put side walls on it.

So you can see what you're getting.
I'd expect the production versions to be enclosed. Without it, our recent weather would probably render them usless when they get clogged up with ice.

I can see them going out of balance easy too.

The Tweels have been in concept for about 5 years. Nice to see them close to production.

I Googled Michelin Tires, went to look for those tires just to see/read more about them, and could not find any mention of that model.......?

AS said, this sucker has been floating round for five years, but no, they are no closer to production. Dont know why, you would need to see the test results, but I have seen no indication that these are coming out any time soon.

Well, you have to admit they are "different looking" so I decided to see if I could find out more about them.

Go re-stock the oil filters, and when you are done with that, mop aisle 1,2,3.

There you go. Seems at speed, they get a bad vibration, and generate a lot of heat.

"Go put yourself to "be"?

WHAT does that mean? Put the bottle down, or learn to spell, before you reply!

Aren't you embarrassed to get drunk, make a fool of yourself posting about spying on your neighbors then read the posts the next day? You should be.

But don't stop, you can't make this chit up!

If I had a bottle and put it down, you'd pick it right up and chug wouldn't you?

The little Umpa Lumpa will not reply to my PM.
My feelings are hurt.
