Hankook Tire just showed off the benefits of its Design and style Innovation Project, a biannual daydream challenge to come up with the wildest, most futuristic tire ideas imaginable. This year’s winners are amazingly sci-fi: Morphing, transforming tires that alter with the terrain to drive on pavement, dirt, snow, and even water.
First up is the Boostrac, whose hexagonal treads can expand like a blowfish to dig into steep, rough, loose terrain.
Subsequent is the Alpike, which expands its diameter to boost ground clearance and opens up deep channels in its tread to grip snow and ice.
This is the most bonkers, negative-ass idea of the 3: HyBlade, with waterwheel treads and propeller spokes for navigating deep water. So, so great.
Wanna see how all 3 function? Hankook has a notion video that turns the Transformers-meets-Star Wars aesthetic all the way up to 11. We don’t care if these tires are technically not possible. I want them to be actual.
