The noise will be too much. On the other hand, you will feel every inch of pot hole or any thing you climb as the tyre can't absorb shocks. It can also get over heated and burn off the plastics used in construction. It can get fractured and cause damage to both a soft ground and the vehicle itself. This technology is still a hundreds of years away. The world actually started with airless tyres and advanced to aired tyres. I don't see the possibility of going back to airless tyres in the next hundreds of years. Even though this company may think it's possible, they're yet to be convinced.

Nice observation but it can still go airless if we can come up with a suitable carbon polimer, but 50/50 air & rubber will be a top notch from my own practical observation.

For months on end, Nigeria and INEC could not get people to collect PVC, but when EU came in and organize concert with PVC as a bait, thousands of PVC were collected by youths, in just about two days!

They will still be working on cars that uses AIR (as not all cars will use it n not everyone will be able to afford it). Just like the introduction of Electric cars did not stop Fuel Station from selling Petrol.

Exactly all those ayobo ,lambe,ago palace,ikotun,igando satellite,festac etc bad roads go spoil the tyre and give it contours and when you eventually get to express road or smooth road you go feel the effect of the bad bumpy terrible destructive road on the tyre.... It will be too expensive for Nigerians and Nigerian road

This is the difference between the West and China, China will just mass produce and Africans will think China is more technological savvy.

Vulcanizers go wreck.

Some applications will be better off with the old tyres with air, so the vulcaniser will always have work. Plus, Nigeria will not be among the first set of countries adopting the airless technology. Imagine Norway already has 75% electric vehicle penetration, and we in Nigeria are talking about Tinubu being the future.
