the big deal is that they are the first airless tires in a long time, about a hundred years, and probably no one alive was around the first time these were invented: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/draper-tire-salemans-dodge-with.html

I know... http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/06/michellin-evolves-car-tire-and-removes.html and they were only reintroducing the concept from a hundred years ago as I pointed out.
Deletethe point is, Polaris is actually selling these, Michellin isn't. Ergo, you can actually buy these, and they are useful, and no one is selling the Tweel for cars.. they won't work for normal consumer use at speed and cornering, they'd fold under
