Michelin has introduced a prototype of a "puncture-proof tire system" that has no traditional sidewall and carries the vehicle's load courtesy of a newly developed fiberglass material.
The tires, known as Uptis (for Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System), will be tested first on the Chevrolet Bolt EV on roads in Michigan.
The tires could be available commercially on passenger vehicles as early as 2024, Michelin said.
