3D-printed bike tires
Commenters do not feel this would have traction.

I think I could put a positive spin on that!

Here's a link to the video.
As someone who has a 3D printer, I think that a lot of 3D printed things are solutions looking for problems. |

The tread needs to be rounded, and the sidewalls need to be covered. Otherwise, they will collect dirt, fling gravel and water, and have more aero drag.

Thanks. I tried a couple of different ways to paste the URL, but it did not show the video. I did a search, got that page, decided it was good enough, and tried to move on, but since I was not actually linking to YouTube I replaced it with the link you shared.

It also has no tread! And it's polyurethane with nothing different on the outside! I would have loved a video of him even TOUCHING that front brake... LOL.
Like biking on ice everywhere you go. |

I don't see major problems, other than that it's a Tweel™, and probably encumbered with intellectual property rights.
3d printers can make solid shapes with internal voids, and the tread is just modeling detail. I didn't know polyurethane is a print material. It could have nylon cord printed in it.
The new hotness in 3D printers is printing in a vat of gel. The print head is a hypodermic needle that moves around in the gel and it obviates the need for scaffolding. Just take it out and rinse it off.
