Ugly-looking, but maybe one could learn to love them. Sorry, I don't know how to create a link for the web reference, nor if "quote" is the best tool button.
Looks very funky..

Yep. Apparently they're very stiff but yet somehow flexible (as shown in the first pic above). I suppose it's good in the way that you don't sacrifice comfort as they seem to absorb bumps pretty well. I just hope they don't need special rims like the PAX system.
Would at least reduce the poor gas mileage associated with underinflated tires which I believe to be rampant in the US.
The rim and tire is all 1 piece. I read about this a while ago when they came out. there was a post on here. Might have been posted and lost during our crash sessions though *shrug*
Do they offer them without Nitrogen? If you're going to get an airless tire, you might as well get the best and go for a Nitrogenless tire. Tom
