Elastic Wheel, about 1900


Photo Information
Shot at the car museum in Turin. This special tire was donated by Michelin Italiana to the museum. The plate reads:
"It comprised and iron rim with a solid rubber tread and was supported by groups of strings. These wheels were launched as a valid alternative to tyres because they couldn't be punctured."

I thought you'd find this interesting.

Great idea...but no success, IMHO. Good light and conversion.

They are making a comeback, I've recently seen some photos from Michelin of an Audi A4 in america racing on a track using a very similar tyre. Perfect for rallying

First rate image Nezih, very atmospheric, I like how the light rests on the upper part of the image creating shadows
