Could a tire be puncture-free, better for the environment, and minimize danger on roads? It sounds almost too good to be true. Back in 2017, General Motors (GM) and Michelin teamed up to execute exactly that, creating an airless tire.
The tire, called ‘Unique Puncture-proof Tire System’ or Uptis in short, is due to launch in 2024. The aim is for a complete reshuffle of conventional wheels and tires so that they are fully replaced as an assembly unit for passenger cars.
