DETROIT — General Motors plans to give car buyers an airless tire on vehicles starting in 2024.
The automaker is teaming with Michelin and this week introduced the Michelin Uptis prototype at the Movin’ On Summit for sustainability in Montreal. Uptis stands for Unique Puncture-proof Tire System, GM said.
GM will start real-world testing of the prototype tires later this year on a Michigan test fleet of the Chevrolet Bolt electric cars.
