"wood chips, straw, sugar byproducts, and orange peels." well if they replace the straw with whole grain oats, and woodchips with veggie muscle i think overall it can be biodegradable and edible. Once your done with a tire, just throw it in the woods and the animals will help you recycle it. Otherwise someone can just chew on it for some calories. #Helpfeedthehomeless
Really. It seems everyday 3D printing is changing how make things. I read even the US Navy uses 3D printing to make replacement parts and drones on the ships to save space.
Wow, that is cool. I wonder how long it takes before they can produce them economically?
Not even a James Bond car can stop you if you have these tires :)
Alright well that looks like a cool tire!
I love the idea of being able to fix pieces of the car on the way by just printing what is needed :)
It certainly would make long distance travel a lot safer
At least from the material standpoint. The rest will be up to the driver :D
i wonder if they can be edible too... sadly they cant be used to give you oxygen underwater like how 007 uses them
If it is edible i bet it tastes like crap. Haha. Or maybe a salad ye, better dressing.

I see they still need to be fixed from time to time...
I can't wait to see what becomes of them...
@pocketechange
Yea if they made a tire that never needed to be fixed they'd stop making money. Everything is made to be broken.
This is really cool
very interesting post, come to the market soon ?
look like only a conceptual design
It's a concept but it moving forward.
agree
Wow
I wonder if they'll ever let it happen. Firestone and Town Fair Tire and companies like that are probably lobbying to keep this off the market..
Haha. Probably cheaper than innovating a competitive product.
Cool! I need a set of these on my car, you know how most girls are with flat tires... helpless???
In this day and age so are most men. Lol
So basically, instead of buying new tires you just print em ?
"They are 3D printed and the treads can be reprinted easily for changing season or road conditions."
Cool stuff right. You could free up space in the trunk because you won' need a spare anymore.
True, come to think of it.. aren't those tires even alot lighter too?
That is so cool. This 3D printing blows my mind - it's almost like when we first heard about cell phones

Technology is plain scary. What next?
Hi..off topic but do you need a wallet for burst? or just leave them in the exchanges??
There is a Burst wallet and asset exchange.
You can find everything at www.burstnation.com
Alright thanks!
