New See-Through Tyres

[Tdm]

Just seen these new type of tyres on sale in the U.S. that don't use air or valves etc...
Anyone else seen them and what do you think about them. Now see-through clothes & underwear - that's a different proposition alltogether - remember the nursery rhyme about the King's new clothes...

Don't think you'll find these on sale anywhere soon Terry.

They have been developed for NASA by Michelin for thenext generation of moon rover vehicles, so hate to think what they might cost.

Michelin were testing them on Audi A4 of all things!
