Our concentration is to enter the market with lower-speed, lower-weight Tweel applications.
Who says tires don't need air ?!@#?

Ahh, I thought you meant they were testing on lower speed, low weight, low performance vehicles. My bad.

I was under the impression that they would be fully enclosed once they hit mass production (so you couldn't see the spokes).
One concern I have is weight. Looking at it, it seems that they would weigh more than a traditional pneumatic tire.
I think it will take a LOT more development before these can take on a serious role in motorsports.
I think they may be helpful on rally cars, though. You don't have to worry about a puncture.
I think it would be neat if they combined the technologies. Have a tweel tire that can be pressurized for more stiffness......

I was wondering when someone was going to mention the advantage of puncture-.... something.
They dont' go flat.
So what kind of spare would that make? Better than a donut?
As far as twisting on take-off goes, I think braking would have more potential to induce more stress (on any wheel) than taking off.

δ13/12C = -17.7 ‰
δ15/14N = 9.4 ‰
δ15/14N = 9.4 ‰
True that. Corvettes do 60-0 in something ridiculous like 2.3 seconds.isotopeman wrote:As far as twisting on take-off goes, I think braking would have more potential to induce more stress (on any wheel) than taking off.
