Polaris Airless Tires

[WyOpitz]

This is pretty cool regarding the future of tires. Sounds like they are getting closer to perfecting this technology and eventually getting rid of today's tires. Seems to be working well with military applications anyways. I like this 4-wheeler but wouldn't ever pay $15k for an atv. Maybe I can just buy the tires.lol

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the open sidewalls are for advertising purposes only? I can't imagine them actually expecting people to use them like that in the mud.

Think of the mud as having filled tires on a tractor, weight = traction!
