One of them is low contact pressure, which allows navigation through rough terrain with traction. Our proprietary technology gives us the ability to optimize that contact patch beyond what we\u2019re able to do with radial technology. The next characteristic is low vertical stiffness, which reduces the shock to the machine and the operator. The polyurethane spokes absorb the energy and then give it back which allows the machine to be stable without hopping; the stability improvers the operator\u2019s productivity. Low rolling resistance over rough surfaces is the third characteristic. Solid tires or wagon wheels, for example, lose all their energy as they encounter an obstacle, use all the vehicles energy to overcome the obstacle, and get none of this lost energy back. An air filled tire absorbs the energy and gives it back on the other side. The last characteristic is an air filled tire has minimal or low mass for the load that it carries. The Tweel Airless Radial Tire incorporates these four characteristics but eliminates the issue of catastrophic failure due to flats.<\/p>\n<p>The Tweel Airless Radial Tire is a top loaded tire meaning that it performs similar to a bicycle tire or a suspension bridge. The spokes disburse the forces all the way around the tire radially much the same way air does in an air-filled tire. The tire\u2019s construction pulls the spokes downward and from the outside of the structure to implicate the shear beam. It hangs the load from the top and creates a large footprint which ends up being a very low contact pressure footprint providing good traction and mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Other tires that don\u2019t have air in them, such as foam filled or solid tires, carry the load from the hub to the contact patch and are called bottom loaders. As a result, they get very high contact pressure, which results in poor traction and not a very good footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-1091 the-history-the-concept \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">When did Michelin first start producing this tire?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tweel.michelinman.com\/author\/bill\/\" title=\"Posts by Bill\" rel=\"author\">Bill<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2024-03-12T02:31:07+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_3-1091\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-3\" data-target=\"#collapse-3-1091\" href=\"#collapse-3-1091\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">When did Michelin first start producing this tire?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-3-1091\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_3-1091\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>Michelin introduced the first commercially available 12N16.5 X Tweel SSL in July 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-1089 the-history-the-concept \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">When did you introduce the first prototype?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tweel.michelinman.com\/author\/bill\/\" title=\"Posts by Bill\" rel=\"author\">Bill<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2024-03-12T02:30:32+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_3-1089\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-3\" data-target=\"#collapse-3-1089\" href=\"#collapse-3-1089\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">When did you introduce the first prototype?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-3-1089\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_3-1089\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>Over the following decade, the engineers worked diligently on various prototypes of the Tweel Airless Radial Tire and, in 2005, the product was finally showcased at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit Michigan on the iBOT wheelchair and Segway Concept Centaur Human Transporter.
