NEW Airless Tires from Michelin

Check out these photos of Michelin's new airless tire that may be on the
market before too long. Imagine the impact it will have on existing
technology. No more air valves. No more air compressors at gas stations.
No more tire repair kits. No more shapely females looking for help on the
highway after they have a flat tire. And no need to worry about running
over a spike strip when the cops are chasing you for doing something
stupid!

I've been driving for about 25 years now and I've yet to see a shapely female looking for help with a flat tire. Usually it's some mom in a mini van who has seen better days.
