Tyre company. Bridgestone says it's new invention could put an end to frustrating slow punctures and dangerous high-speed blow-outs. Bridgestone says its groundbreaking new prototype airless tyre never goes flat.
It is made of a recyclable plastic resin weaved into a mesh of spokes to support the tread of the tyre. The flexible design plays a key part in assuring the tyre does not collapse - performing the function air pressure does in regular tyres.
According to Bridgestone, the 'non-pneumatic' tyre is at an early stage of development but should eventually be available in retail vehicles. Non-pneumatic tyres have less impact on the environment than today's conventional tyres.
