Michelin Tweel

Interesting to see these.  I know the idea has been around or a few years now. May take a little getting used to the look but certainly seems to be something to lookout for.

Now you really can get 26" alloys with rubber bands for tyres..... )

If they will ever be allowed as road legal tyres, how long before the police work out stop sticks (spike sticks/traps) wont "burst" the tyres and make them illegal Great tyre for crims

I'm guessing that the stop sticks do enough damage to run flats to disable a car?

Friend of mine "discovered" the benefits of run flats the other day, when a relatively shallow pothole ripped his tyre off the rim, leaving him to call rescue to get his car recovered. Duh!..

I wonder what the effect on handling, and comfort is with those special tyres. Would have thought they could just put a very thin artificial sidewall to keep "standard" looks though.

I can't see them being illegal just because they defeat a current police device. They (the police) will have to look at other options such as a net that wraps its self around the wheel.
