next generation Michelins

My dad sent me these pics, made in USA at a plant in S Carolina. Who will be the first to tool these up?

for military use:

for civilian vehicles:

Gonna take some getting used to. No more air valves, compressors, tire gauges, and I guess police spike strips are useless!

So much for wheels making a styling statement any longer...

These are eight years old, at least.

Can you imagine the imbalance once those open areas between the "spokes" get filled with mud, rocks, gravel?

For sure, these are just plain ugly.

I didn't realize this story was that old. If they had these 8 years ago I can't imagine what they have now?

I would hope that actual production versions would have sidewalls...
