The flexible spokes look pricey to make and expensive to replace. What's the advantage, aside from saving on rubber?

My shop guy put nitrogen in my last set of new tires, saying I'd get better mileage and wear. I'm not so sure it was worth the $20 he charged me.

The spinning hub cap is a much bigger development.

The main thing I got out of this is the elimination of the dreaded "Flat Tire". Or am I missing something?

Haven't any of you ever experienced the joy of a flat tire?

Agreed, also the ability to drive over pot holes should be improved. That would be something.
