Tire manufacturer Goodyear has presented a visionary new concept tire for the self-driving cars of tomorrow in a world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show. The firm's Eagle-360 has an innovative spherical design and is 3D printed. 

The tires of the future could not only be spherical, but may also connect to cars via magnetic levitation if Goodyear's concept finds its way into the autonomous vehicles of tomorrow.
