Michelin is coming out with a new airless tire.

I think they would be nice to have, in the summer, or non winter parts of the year. There are a couple downsides. Police can't use spike strips on these tires, get a rock stuck in there and it might do some serious damage.
Some good things are, no more air valves. You dont ever need to check the pressure, and you dont need to patch them if you run over a nail or something.
