This would eliminate flat tires for us!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Is this possible for the Spyder?

Would be nice
Is why it proably wont happen!:banghead:remember seeing this on discovery channel few years ago, (concept)test were good but tire was horribly loud, could not find a design that would not chop the air, some bikcycles & wheelchairs use a lightweight poaris foam tire, but again not @ speeds & or weights required of vehicles. & sarcastly, states cant charge the $8 disposal fee they do now PER TIRE, & other fun taxes:barf:

DOC,
Nice concept. My guess is that it will be a very expensive tire, if it even makes it into general release. I base this on how expensive run flat tires are compared to the conventional tire. Another consideration is the ride quality. One of the "cons" of the run flat tire is that they have a harsher ride than a conventional tire of the same size and air pressure. Ask any Corvette owner about this dilemma.

It's a neat idea... :thumbup:
...That's not yet ready for the market. :shocked:
We saw this technology about 8 years ago for military off-road applications; it never seemed to take that last leap to the consumer's table. :gaah:
As it currently is designed; there would be a lot more noise and vibration. They would need to dial an acceptable portion of that out of the equation. Difficult: NOT impossible!

it reminded me of the tweel tire being developed for the past 10 years, good for off road agricultural but not up to car or m/c standards....yet.
it is also very 'squishy'
it is also very 'squishy'
