"Lack of tire pressure maintainence" i.e. people, is the biggest problem with pneumatic tires, and the best reason to install twheels. I'll stick with my LRR pneumatics for the forseeable future, of course.

Once the twheel runs out of rubber, and the steel meets the road, it will be sufficiently undrivable for lack of traction that the people you refer to will have to apply a can of spray-on undercoating, or screw scraps of old tire to their bare twheel.
