    More about rim design that tyre.
    The Hybrid is an interesting one, less tyre touches the road, less resistance.

    Just don't try a handbrake turn with the mag-lev wheel.

    Interesting anyway, perhaps time F1 tried some radical technologies.

    The multi-rim one reminds me of a piaggio three-wheeler somehow.

    That said, about the only one of those that's actually practical might be the hybrid.... and even then it'll bve interesting what happens once efficiency mode wears down. So then the centre pumps op and the car now rides on less rubber.

    The Magnetic one will attract dirt and **** and have absolutely no feel.

    The offroad one will fall apart under punishment.

    And all will be expensive as hell.

    These are just fancy concept drawings with zero background behind them.
    Don't put any stock in seeing anything like this in the near future.
    This was just some design competition..that's all.
