Tyre and Wheel of the Future - Tweel

Tweel is a non-pneumatic single unit that replaces the traditional tyre/wheel/valve/pressure monitoring assembly. Quite simply - a tyre without air. Tweel consists of a composite reinforced tread band, connected to a flexible (deformable) wheel via rectangular, polyurethane spokes.

@mistaediee actaully it wouldnt kill the industry because when the treads are gone your gonna have to get a new tire

[atripa645]

We should have hovercrafts by now... dang it! Kip

@PINOYREBEL91 The tire industry is most likely holding back the development of the tweel. The tweel would drastically reduce the loss of tires due to road hazard and improper inflation. This would kill future business. Why would they destroy their own industry? For the tire companies money > safety and value to customers

I would like to see how it works under my defender trail car.

We drive extreem terrain with it Thats why we need extreem prfile on the tyres.

Are you gone make such a tweel as well...?

Would love to see and test that...

If production cars had this it would be much safer but i do think they need sidewalls for high speed turns like avoiding a crash . But police could not put down spikes , so then they would use engine shut down tec . How do u feel about that

[captainpudding]

Is there an outer cover on these and these are just cutaways to show the concept? If not it seems like a great place for mud/snow etc to build up and throw your tires way out of balance.

At least some real tires. Not that bouncy balloon bullshit.
