Not only do the curved resin spokes of Bridgestone’s new Air-Free tyres mean you may never have to change a flat again, they also serve as rolling eye candy, and the sleekest upgrade to tyres since white walls.
By using an intricate resin spoke system, Bridgestone’s new airless tyre provides the same level of shock absorption as an inflated tyre, without you having to worry about monitoring air pressure or changing a flat ever again.
When not making tyres, Bridgestone is working on eBook readers so flexible that they’d probably survive being driven over. They’ve even got a prototype ready for testing, but no plans to commercialise the slender and bendy device at this point.
