Airless tire design or become the main trend in the future of the automotive industry

The Michelin tire announced in 2005 has not yet been put into production. It unveiled the idea behind most airless tires.

According to Fox News, all-terrain vehicle manufacturers claim that they will begin production of an airless tire in early 2014. The company is not the only company that designs airless tires, but it is the first company to announce test and production dates. Polaris spokesperson Jensen told the broadcaster: "This type of tire is very similar in structure to a bicycle wheel. The bottom of the wheel is designed to give way to obstacles such as rocks, curbstones, and other topography. Polaris states that it Not only does it help the driver to avoid the tires of changing tires, but also provides a smoother ride in rough terrain. They are also quieter than pneumatic tires.

Polaris has been testing solid tire designs that they bought last year from Wisconsin’s Elastic Technologies. Its structure allows the heat to dissipate, which is impossible to achieve in rubber tires, and it is dangerous that rubber tires are cut off a little. They are also designed to allow shrapnel to pass through. Polaris said that their invention passed a military-grade test and that the tires were able to withstand shooting. They claim that even if 30% of the tire network is destroyed, they will continue to work, which means that drivers almost do not need to replace them.

According to the “Celebrity Tribune” report, Wisconsin inventor Ali Manesh sold 12-person companies and their R&D technology to Polaris, so that they could bring the technology to market. In 2005, the Michelin company announced a similar design, but its center is a forked network instead of a honeycomb network. In 2011, Bridgestone announced its colored tires, which are still in the testing phase.

Polaris and Elastic Technologies clearly believe their design is the best. Erik Foltz, an employee of Elastic Technologies, said in 2008: "The hexagonal shape of the tire center designed to be in the hive seems to follow some natural laws. We tried some other shapes, but they didn't work very well." What is announced is the price of such tires and how they are brought to market. These are things that need to be kept secret from competitors.
