I hope so! About time
I hope so! About time something innovative happens in the automotive world. Outside of hybrids, etc. which are really just reworked standard automobiles - automobiles that honestly haven't changed in decades. Same doors, windows, almost the same mpg - my old 1985 got the same mpg as today's camry. Where is the innovation? Every year a camcorder gets lighter and the battery lasts longer. All that's changed about a car is features like stereos and tech and the styling of the body. Hardly innovative. So I would welcome something truly new and different in the automotive landscape. I'll tell you the problem though, these tweels better not cost much more than regular wheels. Being different isn't good enough to encourage adoption. The problem today is everything new is vastly more expensive, that wasn't always the case either. Take today's wipers. We went from all steel wipers for $7.99 to blades of plastic for $21.99. Easier to produce and double or triple the price - brilliant. So I can't wait for these tires, but I am not convinced they will become anything more than a novelty unless they price them aggressively. I also can't wait to see how snow and ice affects them, should be interesting!
