Stand by for Green protest: "Tyres should be filled with air which is natuarally occurring and may be recycled whereas these tyres increase use of chemical, more carbon emissions blah, blah, blah.........."

Oh save us  The first motor vechles produced had solid rubber tires and they had no tread patern
Then someone came up with the idea of filing them with air  but still no tread patern
Then a marketing bloke thought it wiuld be a good idea to put writeing on the tire so a patern would be left on the road or track and lo and behold these tires did not slip around as much So tire tread was borne.
Now someone wants to make solid tires again for vechles Oh well at least they wont get punctures 
A lot of industrial stuff have solid tires though and they are good in there place .

Looks good, but how do you deflate your tyres before crossing a desert? Roel

Could do with a set of them on my mountain bike judging by the amount of punctures I keep getting, may be a little heavy.
