[Twist and Slide in Any Direction]
Oh, sorry. Thought this was a thread about ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/Yahoo spinning for Hillary.
My bad.

I’d rather have a car that doesn’t twist and slide in every direction.
No tread.won’t last very long. Expensive as hell.
That would be a big hit here in California where parallel parking isn’t even on the driver’s test any more. You ought to see the hilarious attempts to parallel park by those under 35. Heaven help you if you get stuck behind one in the traffic lane.
James Brown would have those on his car.
Power boats with twin screws (No, not a Bill Clinton capability) have been able to this for years, by reversing one prop.
The USS Enterprise could turn ‘on a dime’ at Attack Speed, because she had props on both sides along the hull.
When it comes to doing it with vehicles it is going to take some mighty unconventional wheels/tires.
Caterpillar D-8s, 9s and 10s are simple to parallel park.
Problem is, not many people drive them in urban areas, where most parallel parking takes place.
Maybe the solution to parking is to ensure people can actually operate a vehicle before handing them a license.
I suppose that’s somehow a racist thing to say and I don’t comprehend how because of my white privilege. Or global warming. Or something.
Liddiard’s biggest market? I can see it now, low-riders. I can envision the ‘52 Chevy with the BIG bus steering wheel, the seat on the floor, the driver barely seen behind the dash peering through the spokes, doo boppin’ down the street, hydraulics, and Liddiards at play, Stereo Boom Box with the valve cranked. The crowd just marveling at the show. WOW MAN!
Road ice does the same thing.
Sure rocks and grit along with every other thing tires roll over will eventually create a failure...I think it is stupid in normal applications. it will be used somewhere but not everyday driving.
Lidiard wheels by the very nature require that the tires be very flexible and do not have defined flat surfaces ,,, in other words you get low/no speed maneuverability but greatly reduced braking and accelerating traction and lateral traction as the contact patch is very small and the supporting sidewall is necessarily weak.
Looks about as useful as the square wheel called the Wersherski. It went pol lock, pol lock, pol lock......
