By combining the traction and flotation advantages of rubber tracks with the roadability, efficiency and compatibility advantages of radial tires, Galileo CupWheel tyres offer a highly beneficial, affordable and road-friendly hybrid solution. They may look like  regular tyres and even use the same tread, bead and rim, yet the CupWheel's innovative double V-shaped structure provides high radial flexibility, maintains enhanced lateral stability, and retains its circumference even with low or zero air pressure. 

This unique CupWheel design creates an extended, uniformly distributed footprint (even in cases of extreme vertical loads or low inflation pressure), enabling run-flat drives and increased sidewall durability.
