fkin sweet... i know its a concept design but how practical would this be though in terms of price and efficiency?

a guy riding on a wooden wheeled wagon probably thought the same thing when he saw a prototype for a rubber pneumatic tyre

yeh probably..

Animation is one thing, real world practicality is another.

At least some ppl being innovative. We will never move forward unless we try new things and push boundaries to the limits and beyond.

Apart from that, it looks sooooo cooooool

[SweeP]

so dat like ah rim an tyre together ?? an de bolt up lookin strange like how formula 1 does be with de 1 piece bolt up!!

[bluesteel29]

this win

[zorced]

was only a matter of time before some great minds establish this.

I wander how affordable they'll be by the time they get hold of the market majority.

Hmmm.... The student who won the 3rd place best tire concept used to live in Trinidad before imported used tires took over the market or Wat.

His concept of the future tire seem very familiar to my childhood days

Third-placed Miranda Steinhauser's proposal for an eco-friendly tyre also impressed the competition judges.

The Tessela tyre's easily removable tread components allow consumers to replace worn-out tread when required, rather than the whole tyre carcass, reducing tyre waste and landfill.

prototypes will always have to evolve and go through trial and error, before they're ready for real world application.

Cool stuff.

[black start]

seems as though cars will have to be redesigned to accommodate these types of tyres.

The concept behind it is great though. Who wouldn't want improved ride quality and fuel efficiency?
Oh wait, the guys with craomz won't.


Also, will the price still be 200 for a foreign used?

from de look of dat design yuh go hadda sell yuh car to buy dat tyre!!!!

Looks like braking systems would have to be redesigned for this to work. (But it seems it should work fine on electric drive/electric braking)

Yeah I understand that, but if we were to believe videos from before the 90's we should travelling in flying cars by now.

Plus I would love to know where the extra energy is going to come from to power four super electromagnets while causing them not to accumulate every iron particle on a roadway or even a neighbouring car.

you also left out that fact that:

neo magnets now cost pound and a crown

why make a durable rim, tyre and some sort of suspension in one when you can make them separate and less durable so more $$$ can be made and jobs created.

If we always went with what is best and durable we would all be driving hybrids, solar or electric cars by now. The technology is available but it remains expensive to keep us bound to oil and gas for the obvious reasons.

Concept is hella cool though.

[*$kїđž!™]

amazing ...but always believed that future cars would be tireless...u know like in the jetsons.....lol......

[lostallos101]

ideas bring innovation which bring concepts and in most cases become reality....hope this follows, who knows what the future can hold....who knew now would be like this 50 years ago

[sMASH]

i was thinking about something close to the off-road concept. the sport concept, i saw something verrrrry close to that on some monster bike which actually has 4 wheels; two in front and in the back but each in the pair is side by side, just like in the concept video. it was done like that because the bike is too heavy to be standing on single tyres. when moving, each tyre can articulate by it self to maintain the balance and traction.


most of these tyre/wheel concepts seem to be vehicle specific. yuh cyar juss go down de road and drop on a set on the 'rolla.

[~Vēġó~]

I LIKE!!!!!!!

[ADONI]

Still waiting on this tyre...

[SweeP]

^ looks like de same concept design

Ah wonder wen i goh get dat foreign used dey bai....

I wanna see someone invent an anti pothole tire

[lostallos101]

what if you are moving at a high rate of speed and hit a pothole??? would it still work like dat?

[javishm]

sweett

[xaira]

the magnet tyre, while a good thought is completely impractical due to the fact that the actual tire is not connected to the axle, the axle will spin, the tire wont, unless they can make the tyre the actual motion generator, other than that its competely impractical

[Soul Collector]

Happy a Goodyear...

I'm curious as to whether speed-hump design will evolve in step with these new tyre concepts.

It's only a matter of time before 'PH' drivers will have these.
