If you haven't heard or seen this, then check it out. Michelin has come up with a new type of tire that does not use air. Interesting to say the least.

Drove a Crossfire with those once; It was definitely an interesting feeling when I cornered hard with them. Cornering felt like I had 215/90/13s on them with 5psi each, and no swaybars.
