Probably wil be way of the future. I do like the ability of the tire to be a shock absorber and I run lower tire pressures when empty vs towing. No ability with that one. No flats sounds alright though! Over 140000 kms on my Michelins so far on the Superduty!!! Must be that light foot of mine.

I ndunno, guess just don't see the downside to air. Either those are a rough ride or weak as paper.

definately be other problems, like wind noise, ride quality, price, and for damn sure someone will come up with a story about how they affect the ozone layer so they'll need to add extra taxes to them...
