Has anyone seen these before? I did a quick search & didn't see anything on here yet.

Interesting concept though

same as the Twheel from Michelin about 8-10 years back they have them for use on bobcats and the like

Oh I gotchya, I've never seen anything like it before

Kinda cool but, seems like you would be limited to what you can do because you cannot adjust air pressure. It would be sweet to see them in real action!

With as much as those tires are flexing just driving over those rocks, I don't see how you could haul anything with any weight. It would be interesting to see what the load rating is on those.

It doesnt seem like they flex that much more than normal tires. Imo, towing over a flat surface like a road would be different.

I wonder how they drive in the winter when the honeycomb loads up with a load of ice and snow?

I see what you're saying. It still would be interesting to see what their load rating is. Also, how they effect the ride of the truck when there is weight/no weight in the back.

I'm thinking I need some for the figure 8 car.

Imagine no sidewall flex

 

[BlooMule]

OLD ass idea.

 

[Why YJ?]

OLD ass idea.

Thats the wheels not the tires oke:

I can see some possibilities for pavement only cars/trucks....Even for 18 wheelers... you would just need to have a stiffer tire for heavier loads...


But I can see big problems if you pack them with Mounds Mud and then drive home.

Whats the point? Do they ride better? Do they last longer? Do they cost less? What is the benefit over a conventional tire filled with air?

You don't have to worry about getting a flat. :fish:

I would assume it would be the ultimate run flat for military type applications.

As for the tire packing with debris, I'm sure these tires are for promotional use and any production tire would have a covered sidewall of some sorts.

They sure would beat filling tires with foam. Still they are nothing new. Eventually the honeycomb will wear out and crack creating a soft spot in the tire. I actually like the inner/outer ring style better because it alows for adjustable weight limits and the ablity to replace just the tread area/sidewall insted of the entire tire.

 

[deathdealer]

Honeycombs big, yeah yeah yeah

 

[wadey]

Mmmm
