Tires that unbald themselves

I will offer to test it on the back of my sling to see if it can keep up!

Okay... this seems like a bald guy joke. Rubber minoxidil. There, I said it.

Jokes aside, this Goodyear technology extrudes new rubber compounds that harden in air, replenishing the tread as you drive. The idea is to make a tire that can last 100-300K - essentially for the life of the car. Goodyear folks claim they could even customize tread compounds for milage, performance, even a special type for electric cars.

The only question for this developing tech, could it keep up with tire shredders like rabtech ?

We'll all be flying around in spaceships before they get that one off the ground.

first of all the concept sounds great.

Then the issue would be price

Then the issue would be will it ever see the light of day?

Then would they put themselves out of business?

I see several tire manufacturers getting together to buy them out and bury it just like engines that run on water....100 mile pre gallon carburetors and other such technologically advanced ideas that would put most businesses out of business.

Shoes used to have this....it was called a "heal"

jam on the brakes and you’ll stop with a “jerk”
