johnc Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The Tweel is stull under development at Michelin and there's no immediate plans for produciton. Some of the problems they are trying to work out: 1. Weight - about 30% heavier then a similar sized wheel and tire combination. 2. Vibration - above 60 mph the Tweel generates some unacceptable vibrations. 3. Noise - Extrmely noisy at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
