This looks interesting, but I'm not sure how it would work on bike tyres

Re: The Future Of Tyres
I can't see how they would ever work for bikes..................cars don't lean like bikes do.

Re: The Future Of Tyres
That just looks plain wierd!!! By the looks of it as soon as you leaned the spoke thingies would just give way. Still I guess it will be many years before we see it. I guess first stop would be MOTO GP bikes. Thats where most new bike innovations go first and filter down...
