Air-less Tyres are on the way

[anonymous-user]

Certainly look different but an end to punctures is welcome.

Mods, I put it here for more exposure and discussion as it is a huge change to tyres we all use.

They look exactly the same as last time, and possibly the time before that too.

Airless tyres have been around in prototype stage for years now. I'd be tempted to try a car with them fitted, however. At current, though, in normal day to day running around your tyres will be inflated to a certain pressure. When loaded with luggage and people, those pressures should be increased. Surely that can't work in the case with airless tyres, which presumably would just look "flatter" and affect the handling of the car.

Okay, move or close as needed.

They say there's still a few problems to iron out such as the suspension effect and wobbling, but they are getting there! Are they using run flat engineers to fix it?!

Yeah dudes! I'm gonna be rolling around in my hydrogen fuelled TVR with these tyres, on my way to cold fusion plant.

Might pick up a copy of Half Life 3 on sapphire data storage too to run on my quantum Sinclair Spectrum.

Great news. Punctures are a daily annoyance for me.

Maybe we could all have tank tracks instead of tyres?

Look on the brightside, you won't have any punctures but a wipe clean interior might be handy.

Come on now, there's no need to completely take the piss. I mean there's playing half life 3 on sapphire storage powered by cold fusion on a terraformed Earth 2 once we've overcome the aging process, that's all well and good and could well happen, but driving the new TVR? Piss right off with that BS

Twenty six miles of duct tape and job's a good'un.
