Who isn't scared of getting a flat tire while driving? Recently some companies have been working on this issue and are hoping to come out with an airless tire very soon. The most well known design in this field is the Michelin tweel. But Resilient Technologies has also been working on an airless tire and the company recently announced that prototypes of their honeycomb-like tires which will ship in 2011 for use in the US military. This might speed up the process for passenger cars. In that case the tire will become part of the car as there will be no reason anymore to change it and all this might have an influence on the design.
