The concept is amazing and the amount of resources it saves each year would help with pollution efforts. 200 Million tires saved from landfills each year? Sign me up! Not to mention not needing as much energy resources to develop the wheel itself.
With new technologies like these instead of imagining that this is going to dominate the industry, it’s better to look at the pros and cons and imagine the applications it would be the most suitable for. These tires reduce upkeep required and reduce scrapped tires due to irreparable punctures, but they also have higher hysterisis and are susceptible to foreign material. Perhaps this would be a good fit for a mars rover, or some type of farming equipment since they operate at low speeds. I struggle to see this for electric vehicles since rolling resistance has such a large impact on range.
Guys we want a JCW with a turbo 3 cylinder, rear wheel drive with a longitudinal mounted engine, carbon driveshaft with these wheels! And a decent 6 speed manual and robust stop and start technology. Also loose the weight and go with lithium ion battery for a starter battery.
@@mthulisindzombane5623 This is the exact reason why they are extensively testing these tires and why it is not yet out for the public. Why would they release something that would be dangerous to the masses? You would think that the multi billionaire companies with engineers didn't think of these same questions.
@@slopedouche5460 especially tens of thousands killed each year from exploding balloon tires. airless should be standard but not economic for the industry. less pollution too. fuel, noise reduction, better performance in all terrains and DONT EXPLODE!

What size tire and wheel size also offset does that mini coop use? I'm thinking about buying some..
Many potholes in Houston too many wheel patching
The drive is great u can definitely feel the difference

Just get the Toyota Corolla hatch then lol...
Or the Mazda turbo
Can't wait to buy something like this for may bicycle!
How safe is it though? Also durability? Comfort?

michelin dont really want to sell them 👎 they lie for 20 years. hope other company will sell the safe airless ASAP
It’s absolutely ridiculous not to have this technology at the fore front of automotive improvements especially fuel reduction.

@@doggiedoge199 I wondering with a retread option maybe 4 times? This tire would be economical??
Shouldn't it be the engineers and R&D who should call it "our Uptis" rather than these 2 clowns? Just sayin.
Freeway speeds
I won't feel comfortable riding 250kmh on autobahn with these tires
Feel sorry for all the garages that make quite a bit on replacement tyres.
i feel sorry for people paying for that and wasting their money
You feel sorry for the business who makes money regardless? And not happy for the people that don't have to waste money for new tires every month?
The music was a bad choice, terrible.
These will wear out much faster and be three times the price of air filled tires.
