Goodyear is working on a concept for spherical tires

The tire is as old as the progress. But he must really have this form? Goodyear UK has presented a video for a new tire concept that could offer a lot of advantages. Eagle-360 is called the new concept. The spherical tires (one would have to say probably more balls) are held through magnets in position, allow a free ride in any direction, should consist of honeycomb and additionally be automatically adapted to road conditions and better able to deal with water. And the lining of the tire is a little old, they can be rotated easily. We have no idea how far this concept has been worked out, but a tempting alternative for futuristic-looking traffic is all. Video after the break.
