Hankook Tire unveiled its futuristic airless tire (but still in concept) called i-Flex . And where do you think he may have presented it? Obviously at CES 2022.
The new i-Flex tire & egrave; born from the joint participation with Hyundai Motor Company and is shown with a size of 10 inches, with a diameter of 400 mm and a width of 105 mm.
No air and therefore no punctures for this tire which, according to the company Hankook, is; ideal for self-driving vehicles, which will not require too much human intervention not even for maintenance and is usable in both summer and winter.
The i-Flex & egrave; was developed through rigorous studies and tests to be able to absorb the shocks of the road and withstand an above-average load compared to most tires; traditional. Its design & egrave; & quot; cobweb & quot;, multilayer and interlocking, inspired by the cellular structure allowing the latter to soften in the event of a collision or stiffen in the case of a heavy load transport.
The profile of the tread concave in the shape of a & quot; C & quot; ensures maximum contact surface on the road, maximizing safety, and the tread, designed for the multidirectional movement of the vehicle, adopts the same characteristic honeycomb pattern of the inside of the tire.
Hankook does not have for & ograve; given more information on the composition of the material of its i-Flex concept other than that & egrave; been obtained from unspecified “raw materials”, perhaps more information will arrive in the next few days.
