Michelin tire and Maxion wheels have pooled their 230 years of combined engineering experience to develop an overly complex, expensive, and admittedly nifty, way to make your super-low-profile rubberbands perform like a higher sidewall tire in impact and road hazzard situations.
I mean, seriously, if you have the brake clearance (you probably do, unless you drive a hypercar) just move to a smaller rim diameter and higher sidewall. You’ll loose unsprung weight as well as getting im pro ved ride and impact performance as well as cheaper tire/wheel combos and often, a greater selection of tire options.

I just know as soon as I save up for these that 90's skateboard wheel look is going to come back.

Me, pounding the table, sobbing: we just want a tweel
Maxion: we made a flexible rim

Face it, the Tweel concept is simultaniously too durable and too weird looking ever make it to market outside heavy equipment.

Not quite the way I would phrase it but with all the taxes, and now with nothing else being done, how about giving our roads some love.
