The future tyre shall be printed and airless
Imagine a future in which your tyre is
also a wheel: puncture-proof because
there is no pressure. Its ruggedness comes
from its biomimetic structure, as if it had
been created by Nature. A wheel made of
recycled materials and which is com-
pletely recycled at the end of its life, after
having covered thousands and thousands
of kilometers - as long as the vehicle
itself.
Now imagine that you don’t have to
worry any more about keeping your loved
ones safe when you travel, because road
conditions and bad weather don’t matter
any more: your tread instantly adjusts
to your driving conditions, whenever
necessary, using just the right amount of
materials. A tread that can be modified
and replenished at will, without wasting
any resources, time or money, and which
protects the environment for the genera-
tions to come.
