Interesting technology, but I wonder how it would cope with the different lateral loadings of a motorcycle tyre?

Nothing new there.  That idea has been around for well over 100 years.  I have carried out patent searches for it a few times.

It's funny but Michelin have got 79 patents on the process/ materials now.   Wonder why they waited so long.....🤔
