The run flat tires might be another of those things that sound good but don't live up to their billing. They don't last as long as conventional tires according to this.

They're not for everyone, but they can be worth the money and relatively short life, if that's true, for some people. Physicians, a shock-trauma nurse that I know, that sort of person.

There's a new tyre type being tested. It has no air, but instead uses hexagonal rubber shapes inside the tyre shell.

They look disgusting though, so no sane person would actually put them on their car ... although, a commercial version may well get an outer casing to cover up the hexgons.

Yeah, except some wiseguy would take the design use the hexagonal inner skeleton to run 75% or so of tire width and put that inside a conventional dunlop casing for civilian use. It won't be as comfy as dunlop and as bulltetproof as the runflats, but it might have a niche.

Other companies will of course now make octagon ones, and decagon ones, and ... all claiming to be better than the others. :-\
