Wow! A tire with out air! What absorbs the little shocks? The rim does with it's spokes. I can see this new technology being really hot in the future!

I Love it, Someone has finally reinvented the wheel! This will defintily be in the near future.
Think of the possiblities! I have to read up more on this tomorrow and get some more info but yea I like it.

Remember, for the people who dont like the look, they will probably dress up the center, and cover a few inches on the edge with rubber, for a more conventional look.

If Im not mistaken, during ww1 they would put gel in the tires to make them bullet proof.

**JeremyL** · 1-26-05, 18:53

so when you need a tire replacement you replace the whole thing?

**AAlonzo** · 1-26-05, 23:55

lol, yep. you need to get a new rim!
but then again, they would last you virtually 100k miles. unless you like to tear ass down the road daily

Yeah the same way 60,000 mile tires last 20,000...and those will probably cost around 600 per wheel
