He said that they vibrated way too much at speeds past 55 mph - so its great for military applications and construction, but not really viable for cars. @darko - yeah, but the driver will hear it the entire time.

They say there is really nothing new, and this tends to prove it. Will also be interesting to see if it ever does reach "mass" production.

The tires in this story are airless from the start. Run Flat tires are not the same thing. run flats can run with 0 air pressure for 50 miles at a maximum of 55 mph.

And yes they are extremely noisy going faster than like 15-20. It would be cool not to worry about flat tires.

I think they didn't mean that they will start selling in 15 years. They said it could replace traditional tires, I think they mean that big majority of tires will be this new kind.
