Flats could very well be something of the past. Hankook's non-pneumatic tires have recently passed a series of tests that suggest airless tires may soon be ready for public availability.
As you might have guessed from the name, non-pneumatic tires don't require any air. Instead, Hankook's iFlex eschews conventional construction for a material that the company says is energy-efficient to manufacture and easy to recycle.
