As the title states, I'd like to get an "at-length" discussion going to ascertain the possible benefits and downfalls of the newest product in development at Michelin's South Carolina plant: the Tweel.
So named for it's odd design, which looks like the lowest profile tire you've ever seen, on a wheel with more spokes than it should have.
If you're not yet familiar with this marvel of the automotive world, I welcome you to click on the picture below, where you will find the first 20 images in a Google Image Search for the term "Tweel".
Ok - so it's not really that new... it's actually going on three years since it started in R&D... so why haven't we seen it yet? I have a feeling we soon will...
