These tires have been "just around the corner" for the last fifty years.

Every few years we hear these tires are just a few more years away

We have been hearing about airless tires for years. They must be too good for the consumer as nobody wants to produce them.

This technology is in common use for years on skid steer wheel loaders and agricultural vehicles where comfortable suspension compliance is hardly important.

I can't wait for my grandchildren to see a story about this and they'll think it's a new idea. And it's just a few years away! I have seen them on Bobcats, and I think last year there was a demo of them on a Chevy Bolt. Still not expecting them in my lifetime though. But they people working on this have a life long project to work on.

Great information on an impressive new technology. Thank you Sean

John Deere is already using this technology on their tractors.

This is the exact same information you covered last time

Wow excellent characteristic that mud or snow will not stick

I drove on a set of airless tires in 1975 fitted to a 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix. They were Uniroyal brand and death-traps above 55 MPH as they had a death-weave you couldn't control. The excuse was the National Speed Limit was 55 MPH and ALWAYS would be according to Carter, so the tires were "safe". I drove on a set of Bridgestone airless tires in 2000 that were death-traps on a rental Buick. I wouldn't take the car. I returned it for a Camry at nearly double the cost. "No-flat tires-the technology of the future that always will be."

the open airways transverseing the tire should be closed in as an integral part of the tire. filled with a high density foam. balanced normaly and hit the road.

Will the wheel keep its shape if you parked the vechicle for a long time? The weight of the vechicle, the heat of the sun, the sun's UV light, snows could deformed it?

What happens when rocks get got in the tire?

Muito bom mesmo

so whats the hold up on these for passenger cars? would they come after the trucks and economies of scale?

Like GoodYears Tire too.

Teknologi yang 👍👍👍

Come up with both pneumatic + spoked version combo in one...whatever the cost maybe

Hope this will come for bikes too.

I can understand the utility for trucks with 18 tires but on cars with only 4 tires checking the air is easier...but with the price of air at the service station maybe it's not a bad idea.

How would these handle freezing temperatures?

Have you ever seen that "Outback Truckers" show, when they get bogged down on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere they will reduce the air pressure within the tire to increase traction, in order to get out of the hole? I guess that option is out now...... or maybe they just will not buy these?

Как такая резина ведёт себя после бездорожья когда выезжаеш на дорогу ?

these needs further more research if it'll conform to hi speed and heavy load capacities..

👍

Just so you all know.. Airless tires invented before 10 years ago and there is even videos about them.. just google "TWEEL by MICHELIN " 2 553 080 views, Uploaded in 15.9.2009

I need

Me: what happened to my tire? Mechanic: looks like you had a blown in

material such as dry mud falls out in a freeway could break the windshield of a vehicle behind.

stress relaxation kills this idea dead every time ... D shaped tires don't roll well.

When you see them on airplanes I will recognize them as a legitimate item.

How would the police stop speeding vehicles.?

Won’t ever happen. What would be the point they would last too long. Punctures , blow outs keep the tire companies in business. It is something like silicone windshield wipers . They last forever reason they hard to find .

You did not talk about mpg

this will have alignment problem when run into snow or mud.

I have a hard time believing that there wouldn't be imbalances when bits of snow are stuck in the tires.

Airless tires do not blown up on the highway create accident, also no need spare tire in the trunk of the car .

Easily built for all vehicles, tire companies and those who tax them would lose money.

Loss of profit aside, there are a few more reasons that they might not become popular. 1. Still not as much damping as a pneumatic tire. 2. Potentially much heavier, and still a lot more rolling resistance. 3. Probably not as good with traction. 4. Can't really handle super high speeds and torque like you'd probably want for, say, a sports car or race car. 5. Does not exactly seem optimized for aerodynamics.

This is shot like a new hire training video 😂😂

Excellent Andy Rooney parody.

Autoline still wont pay for dental insurance?

Looks like a great place for insects to nest if the car sits for any period of time. That might even make them lopsided.

The end of spike traps is near

It’s such a low tech issue, is obvious it’s just a profit matter.

One wide tire instead of dually twins on pickups . Savings in tolls too

like a golf ball

Airless tires. Could be. Would be. Love how now a days, we get all computer graphics of things not invented yet. It's just name brand advertisement. Hey look at me.😎

lets see for regular cars and that lasts 10 times as long as nuematic tires

And this thing supposedly doesnt last as much as pneumatic? Im not the first to say it but this si something tesla should disrupt for their semi.

They said that super singles were the answer some years back, not even close. More down side than plus, their pretty much out today. The aires won't go, too many issues against them to be a success. The only place I've seen them so far is on lawn mowers, not on anything heavy duty or high speed.

Been hearing about airless tires for decades. Nada. Tire vaporware. Time to put up or shut up

ฉันขอจดสิทธิบัตรไว้ฉันจะพูด ระบบขับเคลื่อนส่งกำลังจะอยู่ส่วนกลางของรถถัง ooo ?

Maybe for commercial applications someday⏳' Cept currently for Civi's like us, 'Stop Strips dont work' _ Therefore and Understandably' law enforcement dont like that- So until 'Push button engine stoppers' are mainstream!?!- then wu'll see these types of tires on the road ' imo🇺🇸👍

2024 soon

Autoline thx for the informative expanded report... its a shame most of the comments are just, snarky mindless trolling retorts....

I like the idea but its a simple idea thats extremely complex to bring to reality. You need to compete on price, be better or as good with noise, wear, and LOOKS. Yea they need to look good. PPl are vane and wont buy a product that is great w/ everything but looks like ass. And yea we have been hearing this coming down the pipe as long as SSTs and Fusion power... Hrm...

There needs to be 2 problems solved. They are extremely heavy and they will impact fuel economy. And they are extremely expensive most the time needing to replace the whole wheel/rim and tire. Since there is no way to remove the tire without cutting

Alot people doing the wrong stuff will be happy cause spike strip will not stop it hey its a getta away

Oh Hi, it's Graphene's cousin airless tire

Bridgestone is incapable of manufacturing a simple tire, like TX8A-EC1, with threads that can last more than 14000 miles. I think my Bridgestone tires can be classified as airless.

Soon as like...never.

Technology won't be released because no money in it for tyre producers, need someone like Musk to invent and manufacture it.

Bridgestone is owned by Firestone. Due to their safety record I will never own any of their tires nor will I buy a vehicle with those tires.

The whole tire business is a sham that's why there have been no forward thinking in this segment. Tire pen wants you to buy tires and tires period.

Rubbish things can stick in it, what would be good make these airless tires padded like sneaker shoes bottom no holes what so ever much less to worry about things getting stuck in them and make them in such a way that they can still use rims

İf they sell airless tire they will warn less money. Consumer dont need to buy New tire for long time

let's create new country and do things like this, also obviously free energy and stuff like that, lol, bad people obviously will destroy our country.

They won’t roll them up because they won’t make as much $

exist on bicycle and electric scooter but very suck, slips a lot, very poor road behavior

Does your dad know that you smoke pot?

İf they sell airless tire they will earn less money.

Most bogus tire on In India as I had bad experience, the hind tire which hardly ran for 2300 kilometres, all of sudden on the run on highway got torn at 4 location on its walls , the tread is vry much intact. I now will never go for it & vouch others for doing so. This com on India doesn't respond . Chaware. M.L.

dOESN'T LOOK GOOD

it's like watching strippers, all show but no go, make it happen already:) eh

Amish already did it...

I hate retreads and wish they were illegal. I almost died from hitting an unavoidable truck tire tread on the freeway. They are everywhere polluting the environment.

Needs to be commercalized and stop just talking about it at trade shows!

Don't you mean tyres. Please learn to spell correctly.
