Pricing and durability will have a lot to do with how well they are received by the public and the auto industry. Twice the price and less wear time they will only be a trendy gimmick. If they are the real deal, every tire manufacturer will soon come out with their own version, driving the cost down. If some auto manufacturer decides to make them original equipment this could revolutionize the industry. Good article.
I've seen these before, not sure which manufacturer they were. I think another thing they should consider is having the outer tire resemble an old tire and just using the new technology on the inside, specifically on the off-road tires. As soon as junk builds up or gets caught in those shapes, the tire will be out if balance,
