The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires.

This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology:

A. no more air valves...
B. no more air compressors at gas stations...
C. no more repair kits...
D. no more flats...
SCAN DOWN &SEE.

These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.
I read an article on these a year or so ago, I think the only real complaint was that they weren't able to make a performance version of it.

All in all I think this is a great answer to the daily driver... Good stuff.
