Army honeycombe tyres

Post by 3VILC »

Anyone seen these? Dont think they would be much good at 100ks and probably don't want to know what they cost. Cool idea tho. Wonder what they are like full of mud

been around for almost a decade in one form or another, this is the first time I've seen them offroad
Depending on the version claims run from, life of the vehicle tyre 300000km +, better fuel economy from less rolling resistance - lighter weight, better handling etc
But for all these wonderfull claims.... still havn't seen em for sale :lol:

run a search on Utube for the "Twheel" think this was one of the most developed
