    Too many to list now.
    Saw that when they first came out. Pretty neat idea.

    Those are pretty badass. I know tire companies have been messing around with air-less tires for a while now and it makes sense for certain applications (like where a puncture could mean your life). I would imagine they would still apply a side wall to keep dirt/sand/snow out of the inside, which would unbalance the tire. Also, you lose the capability to air down and increase contact patch for driving on loose sand, which I do regularly. Cool though!
