Hankook Transforming tires

Post

Another weird project, three different active tires for on-road, off-road and wet conditions, to improve traction depending on the terrain conditions

I really doubt they will ever become a real project, but I like watching these crazy projects, they must have tons of free time :twisted:

Those tires simple deform with angular velocity, they do not adapt anything to anything. BTW that´s the same any rc tire do, I´ve seen the same with rubber tires as they have no rigid structure and are not inflated but with foam inside, so all of them deform like those.

To say it short, no relevance to the thread
