Ran across this development in tires at Michelin on the web:
http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Industry_Tuner_News/article_983.shtml
"Increased lateral stiffness by a factor of five"... "vertical stiffness (which primarily affects ride comfort) and lateral stiffness (which affects handling and cornering) can both be optimized"...."enabling new performances not possible for current inflated tires".... and "Checking tire pressure, fixing flats, highway blow-outs and balancing between traction and comfort could all fade into memory" are a few of the notable quotes. Is this the tire technology of the future?
