I think many will have an issue with the 'see through' tire perception. Probably, if this design proves much better than standard tire, the tire companies will engineer some sort of covering material to make the tire look like a regular tire even though inside the construction is like what is shown above.

i see these as being nice for everyday cars

but for performance cars you won't be able to adjust tire pressure/stiffness anymore

i agree with mcduck...this has got to be just a demonstration of how they are constructed rather than what the actually product will look like...i hope

Default How do you vary the tire pressure for racing?

Never mind. You can’t possibly ride on the sidewalls: there are no sidewalls.
