Anyone here ever tried airless tires?

I would think you would feel each and every bump.


Don't truckers use those kind of tires? Of course they are not directly riding on them, their trailer is I think.
 
my BMW SUV has never flat tires---not sure how I feel about them---would like airless tires to be honest.

They have become popular in the lawn care industry but are quite expensive, one guy spent $600. per tire. I drove older cars for years and rarely had problems outside of an aluminum rim that would lose air in cold weather. Then I got a new 2020 Ford F150 and picked up a piece of metal within the first week.:mad:

No, but they do have to balance the air in a set of tires. There's a valve that runs between the dual tires that keeps the air balanced between them. That keeps both tires in contact with the ground.

I think they're actually billed as "run flat". They are so expensive to replace people get insurance to cover the cost. I believe one of the reasons the car companies developed them was to eliminate the spare tire and therefore cut down on the weight of the car in order to achieve better mileage.

yes they are called run flat---they are about 300-$350 to replace.
 
My partner's Mercedes SUV has them. He said the issue isn't so much the cost of replacing the tire, but the cost of replacing a rim which could be 1000+++, which is why people will pay 1200 a year for insurance, which he opted not to do.

No. No way in Hell.

I mean, FUCK no!

I can only imagine what happens if you're doing winter driving with them, through freezing slush and such. All of those cavities fill up with freezing or frozen ice, and eventually you're driving on four ice cubes (or snow cubes) which are only collecting more and more ice.

Or do these tires/tyres NOT have this kind of problem?
