Design: What airless tires show engineers about a material switch

Airless tires are not new, but their most recent application suggestions give insight into the importance of perfecting the design.

Tires are used constantly, but the simple idea of creating a round fixture on moving objects that is less likely to explode is just one of the reasons airless tires came around.

Unlike other airless options like PermaTubes in bicycles, the airless tires of this decade are keenly designed to not be a singular unit, but an engineering design optimization exercise.
