I dont understand why tires arnt this way in the first place? Why do we need air in the tire? You'd never have a flat tire if it was just all rubber, and you'd never have to buy more tires, just re-tread them.

Re: Cooper Tires MUST READ (kind of scary)
Not to mention each would Weigh 200lbs each on a H2. And when they do come apart, it would might send parts of the tire through the floor board. And the trail of rubber pieces would be projectiles as each car behind you hit them. It would be interesting.

I got a chance to try such tires on a bicycle. A harsh ride is a severe understatement.  |

Re: Cooper Tires MUST READ (kind of scary)
I expect for a serious offroad all season tire there will be available in the near future a type of tire that will be similar to what the Lunar Rover used, it will have retractable studs, paddles or rain grooves that would sense the road surface and automatically adapt. As far as ride comfort the rest would be reactive hydraulic shock dampening systems. Not to mention it can also change its profile as well.
Where I live everybody uses studded Cooper tires (Alaska) but usually the tire gets tossed after 2 or 3 years because the studs wear out.
I never liked Coopers for regular driving but they do know dirt racing.
