lake v asked: I am a graduating in Dec. ‘07 from EKU with a BFA in graphic design. My final senior project is about using graphic design as a vehicle for invention. I have come up with some new tire concepts that I wish to further develop and eventually sell. I have tried contacting numerous tire manufacturers but receive no reply. One of my designs is for a tire for passenger vehicles (cars, trucks, van, etc.) that would (in theory) provide far greater safety, handling, and overall tread life than conventional tires. The other concept is for a heavy industrial tire system that could be used for heavy machinery and military applications. This tire is (in theory) would be virtually indestructable, and would provide superior traction and ride quality in even the most extreme of environments. Although I have been study tires for sometime, I still need more information on how I can get these ideas off the ground. Any help given would be greatly appreciated.
