A true non-flat tire would be a dream come true. Am wondering how this design fares in snow and mud.

Without rubber,how does it handle slippery conditions,like wet snow or rain slicked asphalt?

That looks really cool, but also looks as if it would rapidly collect a bunch of grit and debris inside it.

As a bicycle and motorcycle rider, a very significant question is how do these things do cranked over in a turn? While the promise of forever tires is huge, if I skittle every time I lean into a turn on asphalt or brake hard, they're just expensive gimmicks.

maybe you can cover it in rubber to protect the wire mesh. That way you can retread the surface as needed and still have it not need inflation

But how does the ride feel?

Looks like it would work better replacing the air in a regular tire. Bike tires are a very small source of land fill.

It looks very slippery, and like it's going to ingest all pebbles, sand, and water and fling it up your back and into your face as you ride...

So, what does one do when the 'tread' wears out? I'm lucky to get 400 miles out of the rear tire on my mountain bike...

You know I bet this technology would be great to insert into tubes and tubeless tires now so we would still have the same handling characteristics but would have flat protection so the metal would kick in when the tire loses so many pounds per square inch of air pressure. I hope the manufacturer reads this. They could get it on the market for all kinds of vehicles right away.
