The tire of the future, according to Goodyear, is spherical, absorbent, and capable of sensing road and weather conditions.

At the 86th Geneva International Motor Show, the company unveiled two futuristic tire designs, meant for the upcoming era of autonomous vehicles.

According to the company, the Eagle-360’s spherical design allows for optimal maneuverability, with the car capable of moving in all directions. Further, embedded sensors pick up road and weather conditions, while also monitoring tire pressure to ensure even wear. The 3-D printed tread is influenced by the pattern of brain coral, which allows the tire to act like a natural sponge. It’s “designed to stiffen in dry conditions and soften when wet to deliver excellent driving performance and aquaplaning resistance,” according to Goodyear.

Since a magnetic levitation system suspends the car from the tires, the company touts a smooth ride. Additionally, the tires will be custom-built for the user’s location and driving habits.

But before the Eagle-360 is incorporated into autonomous vehicles, Goodyear will introduce its IntelliGrip concept tire, which resembles modern day tires. Like the Eagle-360, this tire is capable of sensing road and weather conditions. Active-wear technology will also monitor the condition of the tire and vehicle.

“When the tire senses a rainy or slippery road surface, the autonomous vehicle will adapt its speed,” according to Goodyear. “Additionally, the tire can shorten the stopping distance, provide a better cornering response, optimize stability and even support collision prevention systems.”
