I think airless tires have one MAJOR drawback:
People.
A pneumatic tire can only be neglected until it pops, and then the user MUST replace it.
Airless tires would need some way of becoming absolutely undriveable when worn past safe margins, or you know a good 20% of the people on the road would just keep blindly driving on them 'till they're 10" diameter and the brake disc was contacting the road.
What I want to know is where the F are our peristaltic self inflating tires? Been hearing about them forever but when I visit the tire store they just aren't there.
