    Ok where do these airless tires keep going?

    I feel like I’ve seen the concept work enough times on demonstrations that I’m justified wondering why I still gotta drag my butt to Mavis every few months

      Imagine all the conveniences of a pressurized tire, but with terrible balance and constantly filling with dirt and debris. All those nooks and crannies, like an english muffin crossed with an out of balance washing machine.

      They’re great for off-road and heavy duty work applications.

      They suck absolute ass on passenger cars.

        Couldn’t you resolve that by just covering the airless part? Like just because we don’t have to inflate them anymore doesn’t mean we need to constantly be seeing how not-inflated it is

        Of all the reasons to not have airless tires. This is the least likely answer.

        If it were true - we wouldn’t allow regular people to own Chevy 750 15,000 trucks to drive to their office jobs.

          I mean tbch we probably shouldn’t allow those big stinking trucks for people that don’t have farm labor on the docket
