Michelin has developed its first airless car tire, the UPTIS (Unique Puncture-Proof Tyre System), set to launch in 2024.
The innovative design features fiberglass spokes that distribute load and eliminate the need for air, aiming to reduce the 200 million tires scrapped annually due to punctures and sidewall damage. The UPTIS prototype performs similarly to traditional tires, with the added benefit of increased sustainability.
