The tire companys have been showing these “future” tires for its seems like decades

Been seeing these since the 80s let's go already!

Real cool until you get mud in one and it throws the balance all off Guessing they will enclose them

He definitely avoided that life expectancy question 😂

Like the new kid, good energy , well informed, professional in his inquiries about the tires potential. Good job!

"Are cars going to be sold with a spare tire anymore?" Are they now? I'd wager at least half of new cars don't even have a spare these days. A phone or some tire slime and DC compressor is the best you'll get.

We had some of these on some zero turns for my company and they are super expensive and they don't even last a year on a mower I don't even know how a daily driver would handle it

I remember seeing an airless tire on the lunar rover 50 years ago.

I saw previews for this 12 years ago on a show called “Future Cars”

We've seen these type of prototypes for decades. If they were viable, they'd be available.If they do go to production, then the first vehicle to get these should be the Cybertruck.

A more interesting video than what Roman did today. Well done. Tell Roman that you'll take over his videos from now on.

These would be perfect for off roading vehicles where you'll be away from most people and in a rugged environment.

When they can handle Michigan roads for 60,000 miles I'll be convinced.

The U.S. military had tires almost exactly like this well over a decade ago. They used a honeycomb type pattern.

This kid makes Tommy look like a non hipster conservative.

Seeing these for a while. Goodyear, I will take a set as a guinea pig, 285/65/18s in Wrangler tread with a 6x139.7 bolt pattern. Thank you

The Tweel by Michelin drives decent, i want to feel the Goodyear. I worked at a John Deere dealership and got to drve everything i wanted

Looks good for a spare/emergency tire 💯

I am printing tires like that for the RC car of my friend quite often :-D

Air-less have been in use in the heavy equipment industry for years. Make a mud tire and throw it in the Baja or king of hammers and I’ll be impressed

I do hope this becomes available soon, as I have seen this being advertised for quite a while now, this would solve big problem that is heavy duty tire puncture. And let me tell you, heavy duty tire rupture is no joke. The force released is extremely damaging to the vehicles and lethal to humans.

I see a huuuuge disadvantage: the inability to inflate/deflate them. Very important for offroaders. Besides, I don't believe in a more stable footprint. Non-pneumatic tires have been in develipment for decades. If they vere that cool, we woul've seen them on production vehicles.

Can't see these working well in a offroad/urban/rural area where a rock or other debris could get stuck in the inner structure-webbing and begin to erode it prematurely.

I remember reading articles about the new wave of the future non pneumatic tires in Car and Driver and Four Wheeler magazine back in the 80s. Seems like this might not ever happen lol

This tire would be a nightmare in the mud snow and ice getting all up inside of it also for Offroad and you’d be getting limbs stuck through that thing be terrible

It looks like sand dirt or snow might enter this tire from the sides. What will that do to tire balance? I see a vibrating ride.

Michelin has them out, but for Z-turn lawn mowers. They're called Tweels, and fit the rear of Scag mowers

I wonder about the performance of this kind of tires during winter season, blizzard conditions or driving in a highway going between 100 to 120 kilometers per hour.

Could heterhedral or bubble be helpful and add on wrapping cover replaceable to save tire wear l

If they cover the sides then I'd give them a try. Go off-road a lot and puncture proof is better than inflatable tires to me since I live in a very rocky area and have popped several tires

"This is a self driving vehicle without steering controls but that's not even the coolest part." Proceeds to the tires... What a world we live in.

8/6/21, I have a 2015 Ford Taurus w/OEM, can I get these tweels for my car, if so how much would they cost?

How fast you can go with these tires? Possible to drive over 200km/h?

One question will there be a weight limit on the tyre?

Some concerns that have been mentioned by others are problems with an open sidewall design is well founded. I’m also concerned about side load in a performance car.

So what happens when these air less get comepact snow & ice inside them cause viberations or cause a rip etc

Question; will they make an airless tire for off-roading that would have the ability to "air down" and then back up for the highway?

If they could use that ribbing AND use low air pressure, that could make a great almost infinitely adjustable off road tire. They've been trying this for years. I'm glad they might be taking seriously now.

Never thought we would go back to our hot wheels and make larger version tires for our cars.

This is outstanding and the future solution to tires longevity. But they need to cover the ridges to stop dirt from accumulating between the spokes. The dirt, mud, snow, etc. would stick between the spokes and make the tires heavier, unbalanced and difficult to clean.

Something like this would be nice on a travel trailer, no blowouts

what stops them from being thrown out of balance by rocks and other road debris?

My lawnmower has those type of tires

I hope in production they close the sidewalls to reduce wind turbulence.

It seems like there's a bigger tire to road contact point. I wonder how it will affect gas mileage even though he said it provides better rolling resistance.

A non-pneumatic tire has been known for 10-20 years for sure. However, it did not go on sale. GoodYear's guy confirms that the timing of commercialization has not yet been determined. The advantages of the tire are clear: punctures are not terrible, rolling resistance is better. But if you think about it, you can assume that there are no fewer minuses, and maybe more: - you cannot lower the tire pressure to overcome deep snow and mud - it is impossible to replace the tire itself separately from the entire structure, only in its entirety. The disks will obviously also be specific, not compatible with those that were for pneumatic tires - dirt, debris and ice from the roads will get into the open tire and impair rolling and balancing - if you park in the snow porridge in the evening above the tread height of this tire, then at freezing temperatures at night the tire freezes into the ice so firmly that in the morning you won’t go anywhere - there will be a lot of curiosity and people will stick sticks and other objects in your wheels for the sake of a "joke" that could result in tire damage, car and generally threatens your safety on the road - price. She will probably be terribly high. otherwise, these tires would have been produced for a long time, because they have been developed for a long time and, obviously, many tire manufacturers also have the technical ability to produce them

Ive seen airless tires on construction equipment before and still do. They are either like those or completely rubber. The best tires since flats are non existent. But when you go over something that is sharp you can rip a good chunk out.

Denver airport was fairly early in adopting automated people mover. What's another sensor TPMS.

Speed rating of 45mph? by by racing or high speed corners

Why is this on TFL Off Road? It isn’t an off-road tire in the slightest. It has no sidewalls, a terrible tread pattern and you can’t increase surface area by airing down. This needs to go on tfl car or tfl now. The lack of a system on what channel videos go on really makes it difficult to select the content I am interested in. Just my feedback. I also think you guys have too many channels making it way more confusing. Great content as always. Hope my feedback helped.

Yea as some people have stated that if you get debris in them it will throw off the balance to the wheel and make it hard to control a vehicle so i doubt these will ever come to mass market unless the somehow design a self cleaning inner part. But seeing these for over 2 or 30 decades and still not much progress made seems like thats the case.

I am wondering how this tire can handle bumps at high speed maybe it may crack inside of the plastic structure with high temperature changes :(

I remember seeing this on a special like ten fifteen years ago and they said it would be two years until they hit the market. Looks like they were a little off.

Will it high speed corner tho

I can see these tires being good in areas where the weather is mostly nice. Can't see these being used in winter. At least they need covers. Dirt, ice, snow, rocks, etc will completely annihilate these.

These kind of tires would be no issues of tires getting punctured and accidents due to blow outs. Hopefully they can make it for your big rigs and long haulers.

Are this tires ready for corvettes or any other cars out there soon..

Be a great spare tire option

Mud, snow, ice, rocks, dirt, and how about recycling? (for the Ollie, no problem; going on to other applications, I don't know)

As long as you don't drive in snow, ice, mud, or dirt in general. Being that on average, I get 0 flats a year running good quality pneumatic tires like BF Goodrich. Even the few punctures i have had were permanently repaired with a tire plug. This gimmick "airless" tire is just another miracle solution looking for a problem that does not exist.

Will this fit my Honda?

When can I get some for my jeep to off road in the desert 😊

Snow ,mud and even gravel will throw the balance off on these !

Is it cold inside?

Seen this tech about twenty years ago, still waiting for it to hit the consumer markets.

I hope they cover up the side wall, if anything gets stuck in there it will off balance very bad!

What happens up north when the holes on the side of that tire get packed full of snow and ice?

Based on the tone of his voice and body language when asked about durability, it seems to me the technology will not be available to the mass market anytime soon.

I live in buffalo n y how about the cold,since plastic and cold dont work good

How do u mount tyres like that Must be so stiff

For a company spokesman he sure says “uhhhhhh” a lot!

As was previously commented, this technology of tire has been proven in the heavy duty commercial Zero-Turn industry for a few years.

they're available on tons of different equipment already and they do have their advantages... but their biggest disadvantage is their price... they are stupid expensive

How are you going to balance it? Obviously the webbing is inviting debris to build up inside. If you seal it then the air pressure changes the tires ride & wear.

It’s a Johnny Cab 😂🤣

This guy is dodging every single question

"Never seen before" except the Michelin Tweel, and the airless tire concept of Bridgestone. However all of these are quite obviously crudely designs. Little more then big plastic spokes. Not surprising that they have vibration and heating issues...

I like the idea, but the sidewall still need to be closed off so that snow, dirt, rocks (or anything else) can't get stuck in there and throw off tire balance. Might be like that just to show off the tech inside, but he didn't say that.

There were people that said "I've never had a accident flat tire.." I'll tell you homie you've never been to South Florida 😆🤣

The 1k like! This tire is like 50yrs overdue bruh!

If you want to test these tires they're already used on the zero turn mowers on John Deeres.

Great until a rock or mud gets in there

I'm pretty sure the US military is either already Fielding this tire or still testing it

Fine in an evenly loaded vehicle but I'm not sure what happened when you add huge payload over one axle and you can't air up your tires.

John Deere and Wright have had airless tires on their mowers for years, possibly others. Seen them on skid loaders for a while now also. Not that new.

I'm gonna put a playing card and clothes pin in mine so it sounds like a Harley.

Wonder how they'll launch a 600hp mustang

Get a little mud or grime build up in them and it’ll be like riding a magic fingers mattress lol

This is a low speed, low usage tire only. It’ll never make its way onto passenger vehicles given it has no side wall support for hard cornering or sliding (due to losing control)

I don't think I will be an early adapter of these types of tires.

These tires have been talked about for over 10 years. What's the hold up?

Novel idea. I am sure the end product will have sidewalls otherwise the slightest mudd, rocks, sand, or any other debris will make for one very bad ride. Doesn’t take much to throw weight off making a unbalanced tire

Debris could fly into the tire while on the road and cause the driver to lose control and the vehicle spins out and causes an accident. Airless tires need coverings period.

Can you sell it in Thailand?

I didn’t know Kylo Ren did car reviews for TFL

If there was any performance advantage think about this. Have you ever seen any performance car ever with these?

How do I “air down” for rock crawling?

Or if some one goes along with a very sharp obnect & cut all those connecting structor

So it looks to me that going through thick mud that this thing would load up and need frequent stops to un-plug. Off road would be great with this tire if those problems could be addressed.

Whys this on tfl offroad???
