Magic tires
*****
These new tires with built-in sensors can actually help with the alignment of your car. The sensors communicate through a small CPU located in the rim to the vehicles information system.
Flex
*****
The CPU in the rim utilizes wireless technology to communicate with the vehicle information system and receives commands to flex band at certain times, enabling the tire to maintain a level pressure on the inner sidewall to help achieve optimum tire alignment. I would imagine that this would also be able to eliminate the need for tire rotation and balancing.
I need more information to fully understand this, but I like the idea.

First that I have seen anything like this. This would be worth doing some more research on.
