Goodyear invented a new tire that never needs to be changed. Here's how its self-regenerating tread works.
The concept reCharge tires can adapt to road conditions and the climate, whether it be driving on the highway or in the mountains, according to Goodyear.
The center of the tires contain capsules with "reloadable and biodegradable" treads, according to its maker.
The tire treads pop out from inside of the tire as needed.
Goodyear was inspired by spider silk while designing the tire treads. This shows in the reCharge's strong, but biodegradable and lightweight treads, according to its maker.
Liquids in the capsules "recharge" the treads.
Goodyear claims the treads won't need consistent checks and extended recovery time from potential damages.
