Why would anyone put it on a road car anyway? With the forces involved and the mileage covered they'd last a few thousand miles and fall apart. Very clever tyres though, pretty sure they're bullet proof too.

You don’t need a sidewall.. that’s kind of the whole point of the Tweel

Need them so the car doesnt look **** for a start.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Nothing that interesting but just looked out the window and had a chuckle at this parking.

^^^ Good thing the next car over is an original Mini.

Mini pulling a classic "Hide deep in the space, so people start pulling in before they realise it's taken"

One has to assume that should they enter production for road cars the sides would be enclosed.

For aesthetic purposes and also to prevent road debris from getting inside.

the side wall will shear as it has no compliance in that direction.

Where there is a william, there is a wayliam!

They manage it with drag tyres. Ever seen one in slow motion at full throttle? Looks great!

Drag radials. Of course, the air pressure inside helps aswell

Could be the rare sunroof option no?

I've never seen a cross-section of one. How does the construction differ from your standard radial?

Just only a couple of plys to give the wrinkle wall feature.

Tweels there sno where for the excess rubber to go if they have sidewall. No air pressure to ballon out and back like a normal pneumatic tyre with rough roads, kerbs and cobbles etc

Could you not have the sidewall detached from the tweel matrix? That way excess rubber wouldn't be an issue, especially if you have a 'skirt' effect.

812 Superfast not far from Graypaul in Nottingham yesterday.

I like the contrast between the Ferrari and the Caddy.
