Look at the contact patch that near side tyre / wheel has, wonder if that helps alot with understeer. Gotta imagine it does?

Audis are cheaper than women, and when they finally leave they don't take your kids and half your stuff....

how would they get around the fact that different types/makes of car require different tyre pressures. i wonder because the "contact patch" actually resembles what an underinflated tyre would look like to me

Probably make different stiffness flexible spokes - that should emulate different tyre pressures ...

These were scrapped about two years ago for road card. Apparently they were two noisey. They then went on to development them for more slow speed niche markets such as wheelchairs, diggers etc

...Just did some googling and found this wikipedia entry : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweel

It says 2016 for road tyres so maybe I'm wrong and they've solved the noise issue....or wikipedia has it wrong.
