				Here is a tire I've never seen before, looks weak by design, but it is holding up the car.

				thats a Tweel.. been around since the late 90s... Michelin makes/made it...
its an exercise on a non-pneumatic car tire. production versions have sidewalls... this proof of concept model does not.

				That is an interesting concept. A little while ago a friend of mine sent me a couple pics and I posted them on the other forum. Never got around to doing it here. One reply was " old news" 

 .
Cool Terence that you shared that with those of us who are interested in something different.

Good call. Likely vulcanized into some sort of machined groove to help it stay on the rim.
