I like tires, so I thought this was interesting.
I see benefits being (potential) longevity, no punctures, and the people that don’t know how to take care of their cars wouldn’t be driving on rotten, deteriorating tires to the same extent. (IE, cracking sidewalls).
However, id be interested to feel how they drive. What feels great on one car would be completely different on another, and that’s why inflatable tires are great. You can put the same tire on 50 cars and just adjust the psi to achieve reasonable handling. Not sure how the adjustability would translate with these.
Anyhow, that’s my contribution for now 🤷🏼‍♂️
