Spherical Tire?!

Spherical Tire, Eagle 360

• Goodyear has two concept tires designed for cars of tomorrow including a spherical tire that allow cars to drive sideways and one that can sense road conditions and adapt to them. 
• This is a spherical tire that's linked to the car by magnetic levitation rather than axles, so it can rotate on any axis in any direction.
•  The Eagle-360 has embedded sensors that allow the tires to assess the local environment and communicate with other vehicles or the local traffic control system. 
• Even the tread is advanced, with a 3D-printed bio mimetic design that imitates the pattern of brain coral.
• According to Goodyear, this allows the tread to act like a natural sponge , so it stiffens in dry conditions and softens in the wet to reduce aquaplaning and improve handling.
