I shouldn't have to tell you how excited this got me.
I'm gonna look into this as soon as I finish this.
I saw something similar on a military vehicle in a prototype video some years ago and occasionally wonder if anything ever came of it. Here's my answer.
I presume there still is some amount of rubber used for the tread, correct? In the pic above it looks to be made of all metal, but closer inspection makes it a little clearer there's a thin, one or so inch layer of a different material, but is it rubber or something new? Seems like if it was just rubber and metal we'd have implemented it long ago..., unless it's the metal that's new... a new alloy maybe?
Anyway, I'll check it out. Thanks for such an exciting post! This is the kind of practical application stuff I can smash into the Analoguers face when they start that it worked for my daddy bullshit.
I !LUV you, man! Have some !PIZZA... I like it with extra cheese. 😁
I got so excited. I didn’t need long at all to find this…
I’m curious how this can hold up to a proper curb check or serious pot hole, but my questions above are answered.
“Airless, connected, 3-D printable, and 100% sustainable”. That’s a hell of a bold position to take for a f**king tire company.
It’ll likely take another decade or two to perfect it, or for the masses to adapt to the drawbacks, if any, but this is the kind of revolutionary thinking that’s leading us to outgrow our current sub-par Method of operation.
This was a great find. 👍
The reason it was on those type of vehicles is because they had issues with the technology at higher speeds.
It appears they now solved that.

I wish I could remember how long it’s been since I saw that. Feels like a decade or so, but none the less that’s not a lot of time for such a major advancement to unfold, all things considered.
Very exciting times we’re in. I !LUV it.
