Many decades old design. In routine use in scrapyards world wide. Every few years someone puts a set under a car for novel pictures like this.
 
If the date were yesterday and not Jan,'05 I'd be a lot more skeptical. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Some might like em, myself thinks they are ugly `nough to scare the fleas off a dog!
 
I'm sure that if they ever go into production, they won't be 'open' like in the picture. Get a little snow or mud in there, and it will throw everything out of balance. They will have 'sides' on them and look like a traditional tire.

I personally think the concept is worth pursuing. The only disadvantage is not be able to adjust 'pressures' to adapt to different driving conditions and vehicle weights. In most cases however, that's really not a big consideration.
