Its time we moved on from pneumatic tyres. Bicycle tyres have tried various innovations but Not caught on in serious cycling.
Interesting to watch developments.

Run flat tires are not hard enough for ya? Then you're ready for these perpetual flat tires.

Thanks for sharing. I have a few thoughts;
1. Ride comfort v rolling resistance, without option to adjust tyre/tire pressure to suit vehicle weight, camber angle and suspension set-up I am dubious a one size fits all approach would work without it being overly stiff.
2. I would be interested to know what operational life they can offer from the deformable/flexing part of the tyre structure. Presumably they become fatigued and stress fractures would eventually occur. Such a failure, given the design could result in the outer rim being shed at high speed.
3. Given the structural design I immediately wonder about vibration transfer and noise level. I would expect them to be very noisy.
4.Price, always important.

Reminds of tyres fitted to fork lifts so not new really. Anyone know where I can get a fork conversion kit.

i hope it's going to have some kind of outer sidewall or it's gonna be hideous when all the dirt and crap get stuck in all the chambers...

I agree hoping for sidewalls. How would you mount the tires to the rims without damaging the insides, especially with existing tire mounting equipment. It's suppose to go prime time 2024.
