Some sweet concepts for new tires and wheels from Hankook. Thought they're pretty neat.

well they are somewhat different to what i expected could work and be good but how do you get a rim to float and split like that while retaining the necssary rigidity for offroading ?

Designers are on drugs, look funky but not practical in real life.

Yeah but its from crazy ideas that the best ideas come. Who thought we'd be using a long range communications device/weapon for cooking dinner with?

Looks pretty cool. When they actually make and test them ill be much more interested!

most of it is utter tosh, just like most concept cars, I seem to remember a concept landrover what was driven by independant hydraulic motors...but ideas do come from concepts,
I think the "memberane" they show there would be the first to make it to production, a tyre that can reduce its footprint round town, increasing fuel economy, then increase its footprint for higher speed traction.. not a bad idea.
the off road, too flimsy, the magnetic one would use too much power, and the sports one just seems too complex most racing uses.

The magnetic one is surely impossible? It would just slip out of the magnetic field.

not if you use opposing forces to keep it where you want it, it would just take quite a bit of power.
there are a few patents for maglev cars using a same principle
do you know the english invention that made it possible ?

with a decent enough electro magnet it would be feasible, but these sort of things often require significant cooling.. so cant see it happening with current material technology
