    This will radically change the tire industry. These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires. This is what great R&D will do.

    Maybe, but most likey it will never see or stay on the market.

    I remember spark plugs that came out in the 70's they did not use a standard gap, they could not foul ever, no gap. They increased gas milage over 15 percent, increased RPM and more. I had several sets in varoius cars. The rights bought up by oil companies and you never saw them again.

    Incredible, I wonder if it will catch on?

    Next thing you know they'll make cars that park themselves!

    They are so unique, I bet a lot of people will be clamoring for them. I would expect other applications of this technology, as well.
