These debuted at the Philadelphia Auto Show, The "Michelin Tweel"; no more flats, worries about correct tire pressure, repair kits, etc.....

Pics of an Audi with the new tires at the South Carolina Michelin Plant:

If you decided to go for these tyres, you'd better start looking for some real cool 14 inch wheels
