You write an entire article and then reply "Amazing!" like you've never heard of it.
Kinda strange...

Also, note the article is dated January 9, 2005. I've heard of these before. It's a good idea, but the ride quality was too harsh to they're redesigning it.

i meant "it's amazing". btw, i didn't write the article.

i realise that the article was dated 2005 (i actually read the article), i just re-read one of my TIME magazines from 2005(i keep the ones that interest me) and found an article on the "tweel". so i googled "tweel" and found this article. so what if it's more than 1 year old. some people don't know about it and i found it very interesting.

Not sure. But they put it on an Audi A4 to test it. Shows how great the Audi A4 is. Very nice honor for the Audi A4 to be used to test such revolutionary technology.

Nice A4.

This would be weird if it came out.

chewy, why do they use animals to test products before they use humans? Oh that's right because the consequences of screwing up an animal is a lot less than a human, and lets face it animals like mice are easly expendable and human lives aren't. So before you rave on how great audi is, maybe you should think who is the mouse in this situation. Rook

pretty cool

i am kinda suspicious of such new tire technology, but if it works, Great! Only other problem is that they look a little strange, but then again, everything does until it is widely seen.

Good luck to michelin, hope they can deliver performance far superior to current tires; there is always room for improvement in cornering and braking performance.
