I remember a thread like this on the old board. I think it is still a while before we see these things on the road.

Very interesting though.

I'm not a racing fan but that may be interesting to see if/when this gets into auto racing the impact it will have.

U.S. Military begins rolling on airless tires

 

Polaris says the tires can take a shot from a .50 caliber round without failing, and one was driven on for over 1,000 miles off-road after it was punctured by a railroad spike. They've been tested up to 5,000 miles on ATVs packed with a full combat load.
