[Fot] Michelin's new spoked tire

[Steven Belfer]

I like sidewalls on my tires, they keep water and rocks out of the  
spinning tires!  Imagine going slowly through a puddle, wouldn't the  
thing collect the water and chuck it around?

I did some research on these in the late 90's and contacted Michelin  
as to their release date for production.
At the time I was trying to find a lightweight spare for the 3  
generation Grand Cherokee, but they could not give me a date.
Would make a good spare, but I don't think the public's ready to  
accept it.
