No more flat tires?



Here is an example of a very simple and effective solution to a real problem. Although the tire itself is still made of petroleum based rubber, the tire will undoubtedly serve its user more effectively by eliminating abnormal wear due to underinflation. It is often the case that users do not keep their tires at the correct pressure which increases flats, the use of repair kits, the need for a pump, etc.. Are their trade-offs? Yes. The tire might take more energy to produce than a normal tire but it also lasts a lot longer.
