I remember seeing those in Popular Science a few years ago. It's certainly a cool idea. From what I heard about them they were pretty noisy and uncomfortable, but it couldn't be much less uncomfortable than a low profile tire anyways.

No flat tires! I can see them being a stiff ride, but no more than a low profile performance tire. I'd like to see what they ride like.

i can't imagine it being too stiff of a ride. probably more bouncy than anything

I would guess that the longer the spokes, the more bounce and slop, the shorter the less play and give.

Well, they are ugly as hell, unless they plan on covering up the flexible spokes.

I can see mud/ice/ general road debris getting stuck in them.... Neat idea though.

Police spike strips will not work on these, so I guess they would have to rely on the PIT maneuver.

pursuit intervention technique. They spin you out by hitting your car in the rear 1/4 panel and your car stalls which ends pursuit!

Thanks for posting the YouTube link. The link I provided has this part in it and shows a little more footage.

hate to see what a pothole at 75 would do to these. the highways up here are way to rough IMO for something like this. i cant watch the video so maybe they already touched on that. but i dont see it happening.
