Dman, that last picture has a tractor with it on... pretty damn durable, amazing technology, doesn't agree with my eyes, but surely a great idea/concept.

I like this idea:
"Michelin has also found that it can tune Tweel performances independently of each other, which is a significant change from conventional tires. This means that vertical stiffness (which primarily affects ride comfort) and lateral stiffness (which affects handling and cornering) can both be optimized, pushing the performance envelope in these applications and enabling new performances not possible for current inflated tires."
