Default New Airless tires
Check these out. Got them through email. Wonder how they would work on a truck.

whoa whoa. is that the actual tire they plan to sell? with no sidewall what-so-ever. i thought it was just like a demo version showing how they work. if there is really no sidewall those are super sweet lookin. lots of new oppurtunities with that.

They have been running tires like that on heavy equipment and some orchard equipment for years. From what I have heard they keep their shape better that conventional tires. I just think that they just look kinda stupid.

damn i guess there goes the business for tire shine

I kind of like the way they look, never have to worry about a flat tire but i bet they arent too safe at higher speeds
