Yeah Polaris invented them for their military vehicles a few years back.
I knew you would.I like it!
Dammit Todd is there anything you don't know? What day you headed to Tennessee?I wasnt really convinced either of the above responses were correct. Seems the first real application was for the Mars rover. Its been tested and proven nearly useless on military vehicles and last I saw, polaris pretty much abandoned it. Ride quality of a tire is nearly impossible with this design but i suppose it could happen some day.
In 2005, Michelin started developing an integrated tire and wheel combination, the "Tweel" (derived from "tire" and "wheel," which, as the name "Tweel" suggests, are combined into one new, fused part), which operates entirely without air. Michelin claims its "Tweel" has load carrying, shock absorbing, and handling characteristics that compare favorably to conventional pneumatic tires.[1] However, the tire has a lot of vibration when driving over 80 km/h (50 mph). A market roll out is therefore not planned in the near future. The automotive engineering group of the mechanical engineering department at Clemson University is developing a low energy loss airless tire with Michelin through the NIST ATP project.
Crocodile Tyres developed and sells a robust version that bolts to standard mining equipment.[2]
Resilient Technologies and the University of Wisconsin–Madison's Polymer Engineering Center are creating a "non-pneumatic tire", which is basically a round polymeric honeycomb wrapped with a thick, black tread. The initial version of the tire is for the Humvee and is expected to be available in 2012.[3][4]Resilient Technologies airless tires have been tested and are used by the U.S. Army.[5] and is also the first group to make a commercially available mass-produced airless tire after their acquisition by Polaris,[6] albeit, only as coupled with their vehicle. The tire trade mark is "Terrainarmor"

Which distilleries are ya hittin?It's wikipedia... i dont know everything, but I know military vehicles better than your average joe.
