I think the tires in the video are directional. If this is the case, it looks like the one he puts on the car is rotating the wrong direction.

Michelin uses a technology seen on newer Honda Odysseys called the Pax wheel system. Simply puy, it is a wheel tire combination unit with plastic bars built into the wheel and tire and is designed to be run on zero pressure for up to 50 miles.

Michelin claims the system is unservicable and the wheel/tire units need to be replaced at when they are due for replacement. Although local Honda dealers and tire dealers know how to take them apart. Before we could service these things, I would have to go tell clueless soccer mom mini-van driver that a new set of wheels/tires would cost her around $1300. I'm glad thats over.

customizing your wheels would be limited to the strength of the design.
