Thoughts on the new Michelin tires??

[JET]

Yep, had at least 2 threads on it on here already. They are the Michelin Tweel (sp).

The closest to technology they've had on newer tires are those PAX tires. I can say they are a BITCH to mount and unmount with the honeycomb ring on the inside of them. They are also over 660 a tire, so it's not quite that cost effective. That's one thing I don't miss about the job at honda. Doing those SUCKED ASS!

From what I understand they wouldn't be driven on the street like that. They are only showing you the inside of the tire there for demonstration purposes.

Say goodbye to low profile tires I guess, 14" rims FTL!!!

Google "tweel" and "active wheel." I have this site bookmarked as a good point of information too but am not currently seeing anything on it:

I'll take 2 of the stiffest model for the fronts and that model for the rears along with some extra light forged 14's.

Jeesh, watch out somebody might throw a stick in your spoke.:lol:
ROFL!!!

Yeah, I think that looks pretty gay. I will stick to my regular tires until I know a few people who have put those through a few thousand miles and a few "tests" before I get a set.

First off i doubt they would keep the no sidewalls, they are basically showing the design concept. think about it people do you know how much dirt woudl get in that shit. Think before posting thank you. LOL

I hope you buy a set of these and drive to MN, so I can stick a my gum in your tire. Then you'll need to have them rebalanced. Flexible sidewalls FTW!!

New news to me but eh...like the inside design. But ya sidewalls FTW please.
