Michelin ($MGDDY@US) is among several tire makers that have been developing airless tires. The company aims to have airless tires on the market by 2024. The look of an airless tire is completely different; you can see through the Michelin Uptis. The Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System is constructed of flexible glass fiber reinforced plastic vanes to achieve compliance with varying road surfaces and driving dynamics. Uptis tires also have a green angle. By avoiding the sidewall cuts and accelerated wear due to proper inflation that plagues traditional tires, 200 million fewer tires will be scrapped worldwide each year.
