kinaga cool..but the issue is torsional problems

**Burrcold** · 01-11-2005, 03:15 PM

dont think I would trust that

**Sergio** · 01-11-2005, 05:50 PM

still, new rice toy for the ricers.

**MartinGouda** · 01-11-2005, 06:08 PM

bull shit....

this isnt ricey at all...

it's not the answer but it's deffinatly ground breaking technology that will find it's way into the exotic markets and stuff in time... also think about the race implications as well as the winter tire and plain crossing markets... a tire that CAN NOT BE PUNCTURED.... that's big news... a flat would mean nothing...

**Pineapple** · 01-11-2005, 06:18 PM

What happen when you hit the carb?

**racergirl** · 01-11-2005, 06:33 PM

pretty cool. for a second looked like the car was floating. :)

**Sergio** · 01-11-2005, 09:31 PM

looks scarry though, i wouldnt have the balls to drive on those for some time...but emagine the weight reductions...

**Pineapple** · 01-12-2005, 12:21 PM

How about fill it up with snow and freezing rain?
They need more testing.

**racingGTS** · 01-12-2005, 11:29 PM

yeah it could be not safe for cars at this point, but the concept and design is the way to go for the future. I'm sure Michelin is keep doing research on it......

**Sergio** · 01-13-2005, 12:20 AM

Ive read somewhere they have test it in winter as well, good results. but then again, sketchy

**Sal** · 01-13-2005, 12:37 AM

the reps said it has been tested in all weaher and it holds up better than normal tires

**NoUse4aName** · 01-14-2005, 02:03 PM

Wouldn't mind some of those, haven't had my new tires on for even a month, and of course I picked up a big screw in one of them.

**MclarenPower** · 01-21-2005, 04:06 PM

these are ugly. I cant stand them but on the other hand no flats is awesome.
