who cares about spoke turds anyway?

>>16926781
so how often do these have to be changed as far as time goes? ignoring tread, what is the expiration time on these

>>16926781
Cool. Let's see the cops spike strip that.

why dont they just give them sidewalls???

IS THIS REVOLUTIONARY AIRLESS TIRE FINALLY READY FOR CONSUMERS?

If they wanted to make it a viable road technology they have to, otherwise as >>16927250 states any time anything, even a pebble gets inside you would get terrible vibration. The reason this hasn't been done yet is because normies are idiots who can't concieve of anything if they can't see it, so it is necessary while building hype to show it off as new and space age looking to signify that it actually is different at a base level.

And this is why radial tires had no success. Oh wait.

Wrong

>>16927216
Wow that looks like crap.

>>16926781
why should i want it anyway? modern tyres are super hard to kill

>>16927384
>Wrong

Sure, if you're not allowed to drive faster than 60mph

>>16927124
no need to spike strip when you can remote kill a GM car via Onstar.

Noise.

What if I'm driving my simply modded 94 eg hatch and have to take a turn rated at 25mph at 65mph, would the spokes of the tire flex and I'll finally doriftu?

What's stopping me from putting these tires on an old car?

Finding some for sale.

but if u close them with wall its not airless anymore since theres air inside

$1200 a set for a fucking lawn mower

>>16927216

Imagine now that the car is driving at 50MPH or 90kmh and that it hits a bump or pothole. The tiny inside walls are not enough to absorb the shock, result in a totally ruined rim.

Is that a good theory ?

>>16928149

There is still air inside it no matter if there is a wll or not.

I assume they'd be shit for any sort of racing application. Load them up with some hard braking or side g's and they'd be done, right?

mesh sidewall?

it wouldn't be able to flex as designed, like in the op pic I think

Woah... it's like a... reverse tire

cool concept thou i would like to see ones made for off-roading then the sissy street tire be funny af with 35's on a jeep

>>16932183
They're being used on medium-duty equipment like bobcats, small tractors, and those 4x4 boom cranes, work very well. I'm sure off-roading would benefit too since balance isn't an issue.

I'm not sure why they haven't caught on more, to be honest. Costly to produce perhaps, the process isn't likely simple to get all those ribs in there, but idk.

yeah i think the problem right now is all the jeep rim overloards are deciding to try keep on shooting out rims to make there money instead of sending out basically one whole built tire that probaly be super good for rock climbing just because they can grip onto weird shapes and bend themselves

>>16932322
So.. You.. You think that rubber tire manufacturers are ignoring this technology because of off-road wheel makers?

Fucking what?
>tripfag
Oh.

And if that's not what you meant, try being coherent next time.

They are unstable at high speeds and dont handle lateral loads very well you nigger

>>16927277
>even a pebble gets inside you would get terrible vibration
it would fly out

>>16932485
they're ignoring it because it probably suffers worse wear than regular tires. This isn't the first time someone has tried a spoked, airless tire. Old tires in 1910 were largely air-less in that it was just a piece of rubber around a metal frame

>>16926781
Probaby fly out at high speed

>>16932557
I don't see how wear would be much different.

As others have said, seems like they just don't do high speeds or lateral loads very well yet, which means the manufacturer can't rate them for road use, and even for off-road tires, that would be a small and niche market.

They're also not adjustable as air tires are (via pressure).

>>16926781
Why does every demonstration of airless tires always involve driving over a curb? You're not going to go rock crawling in your shitbox sedan
