“First poster but doesn’t read the post he is posting to.”

Didn’t see anything in the text that addressed my concern. In first minute of video (around 40 seconds in) the tire compresses at the bottom. I am not sure what happens in that scenario if part of the tire that compresses is not allowed to.

I didn’t watch the whole video and am am not a tire engineer. As another poster noted not sure what happens if solid ice forms in part of the tire what happens. Somebody noted the have a cover on the outside. We’ll see.

Try this.

“That’s the kind of work Michelin will do with GM to figure out the right structure and number of spokes, which type of rubber to put on the outside, and how to embed the fiberglass in the tire depending on the vehicle application.”

I am not sure what is your point.
