Michelin X Tweel Airless Tires go into production. They provide all the same desirable qualities found in pneumatic tires, but without the risk of air loss. Watch the videos…
Michelin X Tweel Airless Tires completely eliminate one of the biggest headaches, flat tires.
Their design starts with a strong, yet flexible beam. It is called a “shear beam.” The beam is connected to the hub by thin, yet very strong deformable spokes.
The result is a deformable, non-pneumatic mobility solution. The MICHELIN® X® Tweel® Airless Radial Tire™ delivers excellent traction, comfort and stability while eliminating concerns about downtime and maintenance. Truly, “A Better Way Forward.”
