The patrol didn't break down, the tray truck did. Why is the patrol on the back then you ask? The patrol did such a good job winching the truck back up a hill, it pulled the truck right underneath it ;D

I belive these were developed at Michlins South Carolina plant. Really an advanced spin on forklift tyres. Military and police are likely uses.

Once they get them sorted.
There is alot of vibrations with these tyres and they are deforming in cornering.
(been lots of working going into them, we are trying them too)
Long way from being a store item just yet.
The heat they build up is amazing, after taking some out for a test run the smell that comes off them tells you they are hot.

Oh i work in the head office of Goodyear/Dunlop.
But i just handed in my notice for our raound australia trip!!!
