Did anyone see the new airless tires in the lastest Popular Science magazine? I read that they are not going to be available for automotive applications until ten years from now because they are so noisy. They are supposedly made from a composite of sorts. I do not have the article with me, but I was wondering if anyone knows any more about these tires, or could point me to a website with more details.

They are made by Michelin, called (horribly) Tweels.
I thought the spokes were polyurethane.
