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

They brought those things back? I remember seeing these three or four years ago. Maybe they think the market is ready now?

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