Flat proof tires enable Ford people mover test ride
In Detroit area tests at Ford Fairlane Town Center near Dearborn, Goodyear Permafoam tires replace air in two Aut matic ally Controlled Transportation vehicles. The foam filled tires resist punctures, provide a ride similar to regular tires, and enable operation up to 25 mph on an elevated roadway. Goodyear notes these tires are heavy and costly, not suited for standard cars.
