This could have a huge impact. No more changing flats on the side of the road, no more air pumps at gas stations, no more law enforcement nail strips, no more air valves, no more repair kits....

I remember seeing these in an article a few years ago, but I have yet to see any on the road.

Maybe they still have to figure out how not to make them last too long....

Actually the tread will wear out just as fast as other tires, but they can be retreaded.

I have to wonder about the safety of these tires, though. No more flats would be awesome, though.
