If you own a car, you’ll know how much effort it requires to keep track of all the maintenance your vehicle requires. It needs regular servicing, gas, and oil changes to keep it in tip-top condition. However, if there is one thing that most vehicle owners fail to pay attention to, it’s the tires. The tire is an incredible invention that revolutionized the motor industry and made it possible for the heavy-duty vehicles you see today. That being said, tires might be getting one of the biggest upgrades they’ve ever seen: airless tires.
The pneumatic tire has been around for more than a century
While it was John Boyd of Dunlop who invented the pneumatic tire in 1887 for his son’s bicycle, it was Andre Michelin who perfected the design. Michelin invented the first pneumatic tire that was fitted on the automobile in 1895.
Why air matters to a pneumatic tire
Air is really important for the tires we have used until this point. While that may seem pretty obvious, air can make a world of difference to the lifespan of a tire. Without air, a tire would go through severe wear and tear and, if not fixed, ultimately blow out.
Michelin’s new airless tire prototype
Now in a bid to revolutionize the industry, Michelin and General Motors have come out with a new airless wheel for automobiles called the UPTIS prototype, which stands for “Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System.” The airless tire was unveiled at the Movin’On Summit in 2019 with production proposed for 2024.

I would and most Definitely appreciate these inventions versus the headache of regular constant tire maintenance.
to improve roll resistance the external rubber or tyre profile can be an interchangeable tension belt to be removed and recycled when worn out. tension belt can create stiffness in the tyre perimeter similar to compressed air effect inside regular tyres
Thank you very much for posting. Hopefully it will be available for ordinary consumers soon.
Yes with sidewalls to stop the debris
If u add side covers on the tyres, it'll solve the mudding problem and will also visually resemble a conventional air tyre... Then the customers just have to choose the superior tyre.
Yes regular tires are supirior
Side cover will affect flexibility as well as mud and ice removal if anyhow managed to trespass the side covers...
i think side cover less tyre are good. no heat problem and long durability .
What happens when you get mud or snow let's say ,stuck in between some of the support columns,this will cause the tire to become unbalanced at higher speeds.
I guess they just make it a bit unbalanced from inside to outside to the stuff can flow out when the week rotates
You have a point. I think a new design would come with some lifestyle changes. If debris were caught in the rubber spokes it could cause some imbalance. I think it would be easy enough to give your tires a quick rinse if they were that dirty, but nonetheless that seems accurate. I’m less concerned about snow over mud, because there’s likely to be enough heat generated during normal driving conditions to melt the snow.
Seems like adding a sidewall with vents to handle the change in compression would solve the issue of getting debris in the support structure and would go along way towards helping the aesthetics of the tire even if it means paying a price on helping to prevent hydroplaning
One thing not mentioned is that the market for wheels will disappear since the tire is integrated to the wheel. They don't need to be balanced either, so you can expect shops that mount tires will offer much reduced services, ideally for a much lower price... or they'll watch consumers mount their own tires that are shipped directly to their home. Fascinating.
They will still need to get balanced especially during the retreading process.
What about motorbikes and the lean factor when cornering? Would that be a problem in terms of the stress put on the tyre?
Personally you're not going to see an airless tweel on a motorcycle anytime soon, at least not street legal. Heck, they're barely on 4 wheel vehicles and still testing the rigidity and how much wear and tear on the tire caps at high speed cornering and straight lines. I just don't see why the tweels have to be flat all of the time.. I mean normal tires aren't really flat, just a patch of the tire in the center is.. they still have curves on the sidewalls that still have some tread on them to shed water and aid in cornering. I just don't see why they can't just remove the air.. and build a wheel that doesn't require pneumatic pressure to keep it's rigidity, then you could utilize the tires already being built as a transition to a full on tweel. they would be similar to already low profile tires, only then they wouldn't need to be aired up, and still utilize the tread on the tires we already have.. maybe not so much of the sidewalls.
How are cops gonna pop the tires of the bad guys?
yes I would use them if there were in the same price range as pneumatic tires
I would put them on right now!, I saw the design does have the ability to push out mud and snow as it moves so it should be able to cope with those issues.
I like the concept in action aspect, just tell me where I can place my pre-order...I'm all in...
I would love to have airless tires on my OHV side by side because we ride from 4,000 ft elevation to 11,000 and sometimes even 13,000 ft here in Colorado on just one ride and have to adjust the tire pressure to keep things save while OHVing.
I want to see them on supercar in Nurburgring circuit.
yes, i want one kit now!
If they would be available for my 2CV's, I will buy them immediately!
how is it with high speed with this tire?
Yes, depending on more product knowledge and cost. Also at some point it may be the only kind of tire available.
Nice idea, however, what will they cost? I seldom get flat tyres ( I think 2 in the past 20 years of driving) and these seem to be part of the actual wheel frame. When the tread wears do I have to replace the wheel frame as well? If they are not cheaper than normal tyres or competitively prices with the frame they will be a flop.
Card Board Sims: are you specialized in card board thinking? I reckon Michelin which took 10 years developing this tire thought about your concern.
It blatantly tells you in the video you can just replace the tread
8/15/21, Sure, I think it's a great idea. Researching ZT lawnmowers, they're already available. Although very costly, they're best suited for commercial users. My Gravely ZT is strictly homeowner grade, original tires will suffice. ****Just 1 major caveat****How do you account for different load/TP requirements?
Those requirements are to prevent bowing or crowning of the tyre as the weight changes and stiffening of the sidewall to take the load. Without the air the problem is simply one of maximum weight the tyre can take, not a problem of vertical load resilience.
As a Michigander, I now call myself a Mitchigander
A brilliant concept which I would go for however price verses lifespan will become the deciding factor
As soon as they are available I will buy one
Yes I would!
I've never seen an emergency stop performed with a set of those tires. I really really want these to take off but the performance at peak load hasn't really been shown in video.
I will replace my tires, absolutely
What about in cold regions? Wouldn't ice/snow/low temps stiffen the rubber/plastic? I would think it would lead to breaks or fractures of the material.
That shouldn't be too much of an issue, standard tires have the same engineering problem. Winter tires have a softer compound that has the same elasticity as a summer tire in warmer temperatures. In the design with open sides, the cushioning fins between the rim and the web would get a lot more cooling than the inside of a standard tire, but the web can be a different compound than the fins, so they can choose appropriate compounds for each part of the tire. Furthermore I assume they show the open sides for promoting the concept and they will possibly close them up in the long run for safety reasons and to mitigate the problem of mud, snow and ice getting stuck in the sides.
These have been around almost 2 decades. They've only been commercially available to skid steer (larger outdoor power equipment in general) owners because the road noise on a regular automobile is so loud you can't even talk to anyone else in the car.
It doesn't matter, what ever it is WILL be left on until FAILURE, and then they will sue. (and the beat goes on)
One thing people should keep in mind. The reason the pneumatic tire has been around so long and that it really hasn't changed in design (except for materials), is that it works and works well. Despite hundreds of attempts at making a better ice cream scoop, the one invented over 100 years ago seems to be the one most people prefer because it's cheap, efficient and works best. New doesn't always mean better. I'm thinking the same about these new tires. To the announcer: It's pronounced "Misch-el-in" not "Mitch-el-in" You'd think in an ad (basically what this is) for the company, you'd get it right.
Mitchelin ahah 😂
Less tire maintenance no worry about popping it with one nail and I’ve seen online that they have the ability to rethread the tire with a 3d printer. So if it performs up to/even slightly worse(let’s say 5% performance decrease) I would prefer airless.
It's called Mish-a-lin here in America. NOT! Mich-a-lin. 🤣👌
I would definitely like to replace my old tyres with these new air less tyres even my old tyres are still in good condition
Great!
This is amazing tire .. can i have sample,
Add a thin rubber wall to stop debris. Make it thin enough so as to not impede the travel of the spokes
What if stones stuck in between those linings I think the suspension of those linings immediately sticks and the vehicle might stop 🤔
AWESOME TIRES FOR TESLA CYBER TRUCK AND OTHER EV'S . THIS WILL MAKE EV'S WITH EVEN LESS MAINTENANCE ! HOW COOL WILL THAT BE . A CAR THAT NEVER NEEDS MAINTENANCE ! WOW !
That looks like a possible Bingo striking win
I would love to have these on my subaru.
I can see problems with off-road driving where you have to lower the tyre pressure for more grip and take the pressure up again for use on bitumen for the increased speed.
Then you would use different tires? Keep in mind every tire isn’t good for every application as with tools, there’s a different tool for a different job.
Lots of bad arguments. We swap tyres for tread wear more so than sidewall wear. Mileage is affected by rolling resistance more so than weight, and actually tweels seem heavier than air tyres.
and what about the price? will it be reasonable?
Definitely would on lawn tractors and ATV type vehicles.On my car they would have to prove their worth and work on aesthetics from what I saw in the video. Not too pleasing to the eye!!
If it was that amazing, Formula One would have jumped straight on it - But it's not so it won't get anywhere
Yes especially in SA, not only for all the potholes but the spikes hijacker's put on the roads to forces you to stop and rob or kill you.
Yes
HOW MUCH WEIGHT SUPPORT
It all seems like a good idea, but how willing will tyre manufacturers be to ultimately reduce the number of tyres they sell?
....untill a rock enters the gaps😂😂
Should be great once full of mud.
Yes I’m ready to put those tires on my car especially if they’re not expensive
They will be expensive in the beginning but as the demand and production increases they will come down in price. Just as any normal tires
@@TechDivision1 Since these actually won't be just tires, they will come as complete factory pre ballanced wheels, I can't see how that can be true. Basically, they will last longer, but each time you need a replacement you will have to change an entire wheel, not just a tire.
i need this tired for my truck
These in real world for cars will never work. These were invented decades ago and they still can’t figure it out.
absolutely
I definitely like the idea but on a John Deere it’s awful costly to go from air tires to their wheel if they could keep the cost down I’m all for it I would like wheels on my grasshopper like that but they don’t offer them
I am volunteering to test a set of those tires on my car. Will keep you posted on how good they are. Reply if interested!
I absolutely would. Let me be a tester
I would love to
definitely have doubts this will come here in Canada anytime soon. How would these tires react to snow, ice, slush, rain, temperature ranging from +30 to -30 celcius, etc. But nothing is impossible, some humans are smart and resourceful so a solution could be found...
yes
I'll try it on my car
I haven't had a flat in 30 years.
I'd give them a try
Definitely would replace
This sounds like a Michelin marketing video.
They don't work below 30 degrees.
Consumer will adopt this invention easyly if that tire will be covered the whole area just like the regular tire. Think about it ! Produced it in a way that they used too.. then everything will run smoothly... Trust me..
I like the idea but I am sure it will cost a lot more because the tire is attached to the rim. When you buy the tire, you have to pay for tire and rim.
Long term wise. If it performs up to a low to mid tier air tire then I’d say cost is worth it. Less maintenance ,no popping, and I’ve seen that Michelin is able to rethread it with a 3d printer. If all that comes to fruition then definitely worth it too me
Yes, I will replace my air tire with airless tire
Yes I will.
Yes I would
Yes I would.
He'll yeah 😉😂
I want my airless tires custom made black and white and a little pink in the center « PandaNation «
Heat will be its enemy
what if dirt or rocks goes into those spaces???
I had heard this five years ago...
and even then some prototypes were about 15 years old...
My car *has* airless tires...
I would use it if it has side walls like conventional tires
I think they deliberately don't use rubber for side walls because these airless tyres already use far more rubber to compose the inner layers. It's not as environmentally friendly as they make out. Unless they last significantly longer than conventional tyres.
I would make the change to an airless tire.
sure
Yes I would pot them on my BMW and on the Honda CRF450x lol
Come up with both air + spokes in one combo..If one fail you could still carry on with the spokes support..it also avoids getting rim damaged or dented.. advance road safety on tyre related accident is guaranteed lessened..
They need to design something that can just fit over a rim , what if you want some nice alloys on your car ?
I can guarantee thieves that steal vehicles will probably only steal vehicles with the airless tire because the cops won't be able to stop you then unless they do a pit maneuver
these tires have to have a cover on the sides I can't help but be tempted to cut those spokes with a scissors, garden shears or something sharp. vandals can think of that too and it will be very dangerous to drive it not knowing someone cut your spokes. let's face it, it's the same reason people key cars.
Maby
Sure, I will.
I would
This would be really illegal to police
No l wouldn't my 1997 hilux ute uses a light truck tyre a high profile tyre and l need to adjust the tyre pressures when l carry a load so commercial applications no way if you made them harder it would comperise the ride and handling wet weather performance believe you me in the wet my cab chassis aluminum tray its a handful in the wet also it has a full size spare wheel doesn't compmarise the load space big deal you have a spare tyre and a full size at that and l live in Australia much rather have a full size spare wheel especially when you are in the outback get a flat change your tyre keep going at the speed limit instead 80kph on your space saver especially in the Northern Terriotry where there are sections if roads that are unlimited and they have a maximum speed limit of 140kph if you are doing 80kph on your space saver its a bit dangerous that's my opinion of space savers at least its better than no spare tyre and l know that happens if you were driving a car without a spare tyre get a flat you are stuffed really stuffed you could die because you didn't have a spare tyre a full size spare tyre no problem
this tech for vehichles has been around a long time. but this particular adaptation was debuted back in 2005. your a lil bit late to the party
These wheels are not possible to valance for high speed driving. they are good for slow moving vehicles only.
I would go airless if they cost less.
You must have to close outside because a stone may enter and cause accident
There will be new problems with these tires.
HABRA MAS AIRE EN EL PLANETA AL NO HABER CAMARAS NEUMATICAS JAJAJA
this is funny shit, you can buy 4 air tires for the price of one airless tire
Since it really isn’t dependent on any recently discovered or invented technology, it begs the question why weren’t they working on this decades ago? Perhaps similar to the auto parts racket, tire manufacturers wanted you to have to replace your tires every couple of years? Perhaps now they realize how terribly ecologically irresponsible it was to convert crude oil into synthetic rubber and over time amass billions of old tires in landfills, lakes, streams, woodlands, and backyards? At least with electric vehicles you could argue that battery technology wasn’t ready thirty years ago.
why at all have we been using tyres filled with air all this time anyway?!?! why haven't anyone ever used one single block of rubber as tyres!! why can't we just do away with all of the pneumatic and airless mumbo-jumbos and just use a solid piece of rubber instead?
