Tweel - The Wheel Re-invented
Michelin have announced a totally new design of wheel. Dubbed the tweel (tyre/wheel), it comprises an airless integrated tyre and wheel comprised of metal spokes that bend to absorb shock and rebound back, rather than a traditional pneumatic tyre. Apparently, handling and performance were better than conventional wheels when tested on an Audi A4, but most of all, just think, never having to replace another tyre.
