I'm wondering the exact same thing, would suck if you left it for a time then went for a ride and one part of your wheel is compressed, maybe they get back in shape after driving them alittle like todays wheel does
That solid tyre looked like hell on wheels! Imagine being in that for a day, you wouldn't earn enough to pay for the remedial treatment for your spine!
I have seen these Tweels in motion, they work really well. I am seeing them on Zero Turn mowers by John Deer and on 4 wheel drive trucks on off roads. If some of you would get out of the city then you might see them in use instead of making a judgement from a UA-cam clip.
This is a great comparison if you want to show how the tweel is way better. Different tires are used for different terrains and it all depends on what you use your machines for.
I suspect they pay for themselves, you don't have to replace them that often (although it's rare you have to replace a tire to begin with). Apparently they're around 30% more expensive that a regular tire
you could design, for bikes and even for wheelchairs. in a market where demand is aimed at an economic system of good quality. I'm sure it would not have a high value compared to having to buy tire and air chamber. and would be much more durable! Up like
Were these three samples normalized for rolling resistance? Rolling resistance must be kept constant, or else the softest (but less efficient) tire has an advantage in ride smoothness. Otherwise why not just further deflate the air tires so they're less bouncy?
Thanks for your interest in our tires! Unfortunately, the Tweel is not available for passenger cars or suvs. We will share your interest with our teams.
@MichelinGlobal I run these tires on skid steers and mowers, all was good until a flaw showed. Water gets between the rubber and metal hub, rusting out and then taring apart. Michelin does not warranty or stand behind this flaw and will do nothing. Do not buy as they do not stand behind their product.
So will this mean that with Alloy wheels we will not get kerb damage on the alloys, that will be good, it also looks as this tyre will make riding around on British pot holed roads more comfortable.
But what’s the durability like and the structure retention in extreme conditions? Warping factors? I assume Michelin knows what they’re doing and have tested these very things over the last 5 years. It’d just be interesting to know.
We have had tweels on or skid loader for about 2 years and we use them in are heifer barn ,and around the farm they have held up very good only thing is doing the winter months when it gets cold they pretty much turn into a solid tire Wich makes sense because the rubber pretty much Freeze's.
They are mostly for Comercial type machinery vehicle use, I've seen them a lot around town... yunkyard, scrap yard and some other vehicles used in there.
Khotso Lepota 2:31 - 2:43 All the shots of the the tire test show that the driver/operator is going full speed. Most likely the less intense impact of the ‘Tweel’ could make it seem like the machinery or operator is going slower then the previous drive test shots.
Where pneumatic has the advantage is being able to adjust the psi based on conditions. Running in the summer on dirt is a lot different than the winter plowing snow. If they had an ability to adjust the tension level to make it adjustable than it would become the standard; otherwise it’s simply not worth it
Michelin: alright everyone we have made an airless wheel perfect for low speed construction vehicles, all we need is a good name for it! Clueless exec: ughhhhdeeeughh how about Cloud9’s Michelin: hmmm Jerry you’re fired Exec #2: how about cushioncats like for CAT! Michelin: José go back to selling pillow pets. We need a real manly gruff guttural name! That one guy who’s still drunk from the Christmas party: Deughcall it the T-ta-ta-Tweel Michelin: that’s perfect
Scale of manufacturing reduces cost. Look at the trend of cost for things like solar panels and lithium batteries. If they actually brought these to market for passenger vehicles, they would be able to scale up production as demand increased over time. They would be expensive at first, but get cheaper over time like everything else.
I have used these tires. They generally work well. However, the cores separate from the hub, and Michelin does not stand behind their product. Water gets between the rubber and metal hub, causing rust, and they rip apart, happening to all 8 tires I own. Again, Michelin does not warranty the obvious defects.
Im not to sure how well these would hold up in freezing rain, ice, snow, in extreme desert heat and below zero temperatures. In my opinion I don't think they would hold up at all too well.
Actually they hold up pretty well in the cold the only thing is when it gets colder out the things are pretty much a solid tire we have had tweels on are skid loader for over 2 years know and we love them. And the tweels we have are pretty well beat up because we use them on a skid loader that is used in a heifer barn with cattle so it's running in manure most of the time.
Errol Lynx don't think they will because 1) there made for equipment not motocylces if you pat that in that its dangerous because it will wobble and shift and shake and mess up all the swingware compents 2) low speed 3) also the military doesn't want even truck to have them because it' was designed by the military for Humvees and LMVT and Michelin got wind of it and made skid steer tires and lawn tractor tires
Impressive. But how come there's no terrain test as far as mud and sand and heavy dirt or clay? What happens when the they get full of mud?
Seems ok ua-cam.com/video/8zl3a8xg88c/v-deo.html
@Mr Sunshines Why so disrespectful
This is just prototype... They will add flexible side walls for tire to avoid mud to get inside the tweel grooves
@Mr Sunshines I hope you're not trying to Be funny because I'm black matter of fact I don't have time for a Disrespectful Racist
Now girls
Would the tweel tire loose it's shape temporarily if left with a heavy load for a month.?
Deevesh Khatri good question
I'm wondering the exact same thing, would suck if you left it for a time then went for a ride and one part of your wheel is compressed, maybe they get back in shape after driving them alittle like todays wheel does
I think. It's not different much compare with old fashion tire.
Published 2014, i watched 2019
Same here
Same here too
Oke im not the one who left behind 😁
Same
me too
That solid tyre looked like hell on wheels!

I run a bobcat s650 with solid tires 5am to 9pm everyday I don't have any problems with it
@@tahasiahill9478 Solid tires are better for flat floors .I can't imagine that Tweel tire on a forklift with load balancing high up.
@@неболтай-в2о The fuck you are comparing a little Forklift with a big a robust Bobcat?????
I feel bad for the dude @ 2:36
literally everybody is watching only 2019+
I think we all came here from Michelin's airless tire video
you are right :p
Yep
No, I came from a guy making airless tires with windshield sealant
😂
Installing tire + suspension at same time to your loader.

This is the best comparison ever
This is a great comparison if you want to show how the tweel is way better. Different tires are used for different terrains and it all depends on what you use your machines for.
Wonder how this will work in muddy roads on rainy days 🤔
So what happens when the tweel fills up with dirt and gravel at a construction site?
Doesnt have a cover, this is the final product
@Mr Sunshines lol you have never worked on... NVM
Come her cause of Uptis. Can wait to use Uptis in my new car...5 years from now
same
They just announced a fully funded factory, employees, and machinery dedicated solely to the tweel in south carolina
😂🤣😂
my opinion this type of technology full mold is right look like and beautiful economically success
Great work!
no puncture
no maintenance
high durability
less waste
what about price?
I suspect they pay for themselves, you don't have to replace them that often (although it's rare you have to replace a tire to begin with).
Apparently they're around 30% more expensive that a regular tire
I still think the air wheel will last longer than this new technology
@@porbos the price will go down if a lot of buyers buy it.
I feel sorry for the guy testing the solid tire 😁
Useless comment get a life!!

Awesome tires!!! Keep improving them! Air tires a re a thing from the past!
MadHouse, no it’s not. There are so many cons to this concept being used on everyday vehicles. Great for tractors though.
you could design, for bikes and even for wheelchairs. in a market where demand is aimed at an economic system of good quality. I'm sure it would not have a high value compared to having to buy tire and air chamber. and would be much more durable!

Amazing revolution! Hopefully not TOO expensive. These might be my next set of tires.
samuslightsuit $300 per tire on Speedytire.
4 would cost you over $1k
What happens when they fill up with Mud, Ice, and Snow ?
They will look like normal tires, this is prototype
@@smallbeans101
Oh, really different design
What extra energy these tires use? If you drive your car with half flat tires all the time it will use much more fuel.
It looks like you add a big damper in the Tweel. I was wondering how is energy efficiency of the Tweel?
Were these three samples normalized for rolling resistance? Rolling resistance must be kept constant, or else the softest (but less efficient) tire has an advantage in ride smoothness. Otherwise why not just further deflate the air tires so they're less bouncy?
This video is a few years old.. are we able to get 35” mud tweels for my Jeep now? That would be epic if so!

Wow that's a great invention
It's made for different
Where pneumatic has the advantage is being able to adjust the psi based on conditions. Running in the summer on dirt is a lot different than the winter plowing snow.

Is there any limided speed with that kind of tires ?
This is pretty cool stuff. How do they fare in mud?? Better, worse, same??
I can’t wait for these to be produced in 37 for my ram 1500
lol low profile as well
Bad drivers best friend
Sooo...u mean *Asian* driver's best friend
Yes just like autonomous vehicles we never see them in inclement weather being tested or on the most extreme conditions
Hey that's great ! When is it coming to market ?
do u make these for hoverboards
What does the Tweel do in Quicksand
and when snow or mud builds up inside the tire your now driving a solid tire XD so smart
Ya screw new technology. This ant going on my Wagon. #woodwheels4life
Does it work at the beach on the sand?
No more exploded tires:) will save life for sure👌
do you have the performance version? i want to try this on my car

excellent. we need these tires soon.
When will it be sold to market?
When will this tire be available?
If these are so great, and you've had almost 5 years to develop them, why don't we have a passenger car version yet?
because they are still very expensive
You can't sell something with lowering cost of manufacturing

@@hellcat1988 They are trying. They just announced a factory in south carolina for that purpose.
Can't wait to buy Tweel in Thailand.
The solid wheels are so entertaining to watch
Pretty cool, but do they last?
Excellent demo!
Amazing weels! this, IS FUTURE!
can they cover it more so it looks like a normal tire?
be intresting to see if a motorbike tyre could be made from this Tech ??

How much load can it withstand for a long period of time?
Kapan ban Michelin datang ke Indonesia. Seperti ban mobil Dum truck. Saya sangat menantikan ban seperti ini. Mohon...

When can we get it in our cars, SUVs and trucks????
Road noise? Can't change pressure for variable loads?
you should totally talk to the guys at Liddiard wheels. they are looking for a company to pick up their patented wheel invention.
I love these type of tires they are pinch residents 🤗🤗🤗🤗
But what happens if tyre goes in muddy pool tyre can sink in the pool
are these available for trucks? I would love this.

What a video
Totally amazing... Loved it

Suddenly I need those tires, even if I don't own a loader
.......What about when they fill up with mud, rocks, bird nests?
lol bird nests?
@@ebhole .......thru our eyes we see "wierd tire". Birds eye view "condo".
Where we can buy this one
I'm from India!
Very cool innovation! Just wondering what happens when they get caked with mud and dirt?
I figure that some might get in there, but any deformation will squeeze most of it out
I assume that those fins will snap when they flex, especially if it is anything sharp like stone or glass
I think they’ll lose their shape if we keep heavy weight on ‘em for a longer period. What about mud and stone stuck in them? We’ll be clean for hours?
why arent these out in the market?
Is it available for two wheelers
We really need those to our trailers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***************
Well done guys!
How doe's it mount to the wheel ?
and seal to the rim?
I believe it's a one piece wheel and tire, not 2 separate pieces.
Wow, these have really caught on in the 5 years this video has been out
What about breaking for a high speed car
So they use more fuel?
hope u guys make also for motorcycles. this is very good
Errol Lynx don't think they will because
1) there made for equipment not motocylces if you pat that in that its dangerous because it will wobble and shift and shake and mess up all the swingware compents
2) low speed
3) also the military doesn't want even truck to have them because it' was designed by the military for Humvees and LMVT and Michelin got wind of it and made skid steer tires and lawn tractor tires
I wonder how long it will last compare to air wheel
Who else got the back pain just by looking at the solid tyre guy driving ......they should have put an ambulance on standby for that poor guy 😉
How many kilometers offerd by this tyre
Why aren't these tyres becoming the standard for all Vehicles?
Quando estara no mercado brasileiro e qual sera o seu custo
Wonder how they'd do on a front-loader, cleaning out HOT-slag pits? And you couldn't put the "chain-mail"-protectors on 'em either, could you?
