Sorry I dont know how to post a link, but if you go to www.michelinman.com & then type "tweel" in the search window at the top of the page you can scrool down to "Michelin let the air out of future tire innovation". Its pretty neat.If someone could add a link to it that would sure help.

It's not even ugly. I've read something about those things. That picture is just for demo purposes. They cover the outside with a black rubber covering just so it looks like a regular tire.
