Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
This will definitely be one of the technologies included in future cars.
I'm really curious about sound. in my mind, that design begs for wind (at certain speeds) to cause a whistle or a hum as it travels through the tires(like blowing into a bottle.
plus, I feel like a sidewall is needed because in areas where you get snow/ice, last thing you need is ice or super packed snow in between the "spoke" causing issues with traction/control.
Lastly, how many punctures can the tire sustain before I have to replace the tire. the more holes in the tire, the less structurally sound the tire will be. if they say something like 3, then that's probably not worth it especially when a lot of places patch tires for $15 (or even free here in Indy).
i DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE TIRES FROM DECADES, RIGHT NOW.
what about test with snow chains on it. I think, in mud or snow it has many disadvantages. What is more, in air tire, you can increase pressure when heavier load is expected, or lower the pressure when needed etc. Here you cannot adjust these tire properties.
I just imagine going off road and filling its center with mud, gravel, snow…
They need to make them electric like they do some car suspension and on the fly for efficiency and emergency braking all that stuff
No sidewall looks suspicious… debris problem perhaps?
I dont care if it makes noice i want tire witjh no air i hate nails and always have to put air in one tires that leaks somewhere
Great for the environment, Bad for business. I doubt they'll ever see mass production
The governments around the world will most likely make it a law to have while driving just like it is with seatbelts and so forth. Safety first.
I have a feeling that the wheel axels will also need to be made different with a weight shift sensor to further improve the handling.
I live in Chicago RAIN,ICE,& SNOW means nope on these but good concept
I've been watching Brian on CNET since my middle school days and he's just as sharp as then! I think he was the one who introduced me to Ubuntu (probably 8.04) via some ancient video

Man Brian Cooley doesn’t age
Spoked bicycle wheel… What will happen to the rubber if the car will stand for a year under load without moving …
Nailed it
This guy asks a lot of the right questions
Idk why am watching this. I don't even own a car
Hmmm
The phrase is "planned obsolescence"
airless tires actually suck for on-road applications. They're legitimately awful. That's why they aren't a thing yet. The first rubber tires were airless.
