Interesting concept. Perhaps some have seen it, but a search for "tweel" got no hits.

Tweel

a buddy sent me 4 pic's of the tweel. They are at photobucket.

i'm so buying some when they come out...

i recall reading that you get 1-2 mgp less w/ the tweel compared to normal tires... so hopefuly by the time they are available to the public they will have a lrr tire.

I note in the article it says they are within 5% of the mass of conventional tires which means there is no real net unsprung weight savings. I presume they would have said that the mass was less than conventional tires.
