[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

That seems to me like it'll put a lot of extra stresses on the tires. For instance, if the tire is molded as a tire instead of an open-ended tube, the outer 'ring' of the structure will be placed under more compression than normal when rotating sideways, and the inner ring will be under extra tension at the same point, due to the differences in the amount of material at both points. If it is formed as an open-ended tube, it's always going to be under those odd stresses, though to a lesser extent. It clearly works, but something tells me those tires don't have the longest lifespan.

I think the rubber will wear fast due to compression and stretching when the innermost material of the tyre becomes the out most material. I mean, a car is not something lightweight necessarily. And tyres should last some mileage. Also, the grip of these tyres is reduces a lot due to way less surface areay, compared to tyres with a flat surface. Not sure what problem is being solved here. For industrial I do see value: limited space in a garage or yard where vehicles move things around.

The stress applied on the rubber when made to rotate sideways is high, and so is the stress put on it by the rollers. You have single stress points for accelerating, braking and gliding. Very cool idea, but the amount of engineering to make it viable for more than 100 km in safety on any car is not indifferent.
