The Future of Tires.......Tweels
These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market
very soon .
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work
on these tires.
This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on
existing technology:
1... no more air valves
2... no more air compressors at gas stations
3... no more repair kits
SCAN DOWN & SEE.
These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin

Polish police give street racing the
go-ahead in certain sections of town
It's a well hidden secret here in the States, but in Eastern Europe,
Poland is a street racing Mecca. Concrete contests of speed are so
prevalent in the land of the prior Pope and origin of the pirogi, that
police in Lodz are conceding certain streets to rebellious racers. The
goal is to concentrate racing to a speed limit-free zone, with hopes
that racing-related accidents will plummet in other areas of town.
Both police and the Lodz motor club will supervise the action on
closed streets to ensure that complete lawlessness doesn't
commence.
It seems everybody wins thanks to this unorthodox solution, with
dragsters getting a place to hang and innocent drivers and
bystanders having a better chance of not becoming collateral
damage, like what happened last week in Maryland. Such a
compromise would never happen in the US, however, as police (and
insurance companies) would sooner take your license than leave
speed limits to the ego of the driver and power of the car.
