I think an airless tires would be great for modern micro cars since they are really small and probably don't have a lot of room for a spare tire (at least not a full size one), even a 'doughnut' one. I have a Smart Fortwo and it does not have a spare tire, of any kind. It does have a can of sealant with connects to an air compressor but that only works if the whole can be repaired; otherwise, it would not work. There are other similar sized cars and some bigger ones where there is room for a spare but one has to pay extra to get one.
There is also peace of mind when one does not have to worry about a flat; which, an airless tire won't have since there isn't any air under pressure. There are a few airless tires that also have that also have the advantage of not having to worry about flat. One does not have to worry about being on a remote place when one has a flat tire or being in traffic or at night or during inclement weather.
I think the Hankook iFlex looks nice. They have a variety of designs with some being nicer than others.
I think this is a really neat design. I would love to have it on my Smart Fortwo. It would greatly reduce the worry about having a flat since my car does not have a spare, not even a 'doughnut'.
This shows the parts of it and how it is eco friendly. For me, this is a side benefit and secondary to the ones I mentioned above. Seeing it apart makes it - in my opinion - even cooler.
I think it is cool that it is so green because it is recyclable. The lower tire is not as nice as the upper one but still great looking.
Hankook has other tires that are cool.
