I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

There is no way 6,000 are waiting to drop 3k on a set of bike tires. And if you are selling a bike tire set for 3k, there is no way you will be selling a car tire for 800 each. These guys are liars. They say is costs 150-200 per pound? Why not know the number? What they meant to say is the tires cost them 800 to make for a car and they were going to sell them for 3k-5k each tire. 15k-25k per set of tires. All this tire business and they roll in on rubber tires. Idiots.

[@phoneindustrydesign]

as a cyclist I have to say for cheapest road tire for road bicycle you have to pay around 10-30$ while going from 30-100$ you're already getting premium product and anything above 100$ is checking all boxes in cycling world 2.5-3k wheelset is a no go especially considering the weight

[@thesmarttirecompany]

The feedback we've consistently gotten from cyclists is that a $100-$150 tire that lasts multiple years and never has flats is a very fair price. Wheelsets already routinely cost that much - all of that price point is in delivering an integrated set for those that want it.

[@nerdysam4729]

Nitinol is not a cutting edge material any longer. Orthodontist have been using it in the wires for like 30 years +. The main problem with the material is the coefficient of friction that it produces, which is high and will be a problem for tyre purpose plus they will also wear and also the sound that they will produce when in contact with road will be something that have to be looked deeper into. Hope they have worked out around these issues .

[@AbsalonWhiteJr.]

But here’s another issue they didn’t explain, if their tires are going to NEED rubber wrapped around it to work no matter what, then what happens when the tread runs out and goes bald? You might not have to worry about another flat again, but unless you’re using invincible rubber, the tread WILL go bald, so you’ll still have to replace that tire in some fashion. Then there’s the question of how to replace just the tread on a space material tire base, how much that will cost to replace, how many tire manufacturers have it available, how many tire manufacturers even know how to perform such a procedure, do we not have to worry about the question I have at all because in all actuality it will come sold pre wrapped in rubber so all you have to do is just ask for a smart tire and they put it on your car and rims like normal etc… The sharks were right, there are so many unanswered questions and it makes me angry just thinking about it.

[@peterjoseph8974]

I don't get it. The rubber will wear at the same rate despite the internal armature. Who would spend 4x on a tire that will never go flat, but lasts the same as a conventional tire?

[@cjsawinski]

I just love when people try to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. And then for cars and being competing against high end performance tires there’s literally no shot. For performance tires everything comes down to the rubber compound, the side wall, and the nitrogen (yes nitrogen) in the tire for air pressure… and mostly being able to adjust that air pressure for track or driving conditions.

[@haylonix]

Exactly. For a bike the tyre has a small contact patch and for most bikes its all the suspension you have. Car’s are another level of performance, noise, comfort, durability. The big players have spent Billions on R&D on run flats and haven’t nailed it yet.

[@andreroestenberg6313]

Not to mention all the different types of sizes of tires the company has to make for the public...there are tons of different heights, widths of tires and they need to cover with rubber anyways!! The whole concept is it won't go flat..I literally had 1 flat tire my whole life and filled it up with air for 1.00. Most consumers arent going to have tons of flat tires frequently. I don't see the relevance of this product from a purpose, utilitarian and cost perspective.

[@unstopology]

​@andreroestenberg6313 One flat only! You're very fortunate. Someone in my family is getting a flat like once a year, or at least a slow leak. I would love something like this but they need to figure out the rubber part.

[@stitch438]

[@isaacalvarado123]

One thing that they didn't ask was what happens when the rubber wears out? You buy a whole new set, or do you just replace the rubber? If the rubber is just replaced, then that premium is only paid at the being and just just pay what it costs to replace the rubber. If that's the case, I think that business can work. You have a tire that will never go flat, and you just worry about the wear and tear.

I would 100% invest in this tech. The sharks didn't see the big picture.

[@wadewillson9220]

One of the most important things when speaking is knowing your audience. Plus they were obviously dodging the question. Kevin is a comedian not in the tire industry. So when he asks a very simple question how much does it cost to make a tire and you respond with the material costs 200$ a pound you aren't answering his question and expect him to know something in an industry he is not involved in and then you have the audacity to ask for his money. So yes it is disrespectful as you are wasting everyone's time here.

Lookin good Earl! Barely aged a day since your Survivor win lol

[@Jacobnokes9]

And this is why it’s essential to hire a professional sales/marketing guy to your business

[@williamhaynes7089]

supposedly they have 100's of customers ready to go when they get production up

[@Jaywrapstar]

Mark always so dramatic looks like he’s always enraged 😂

[@The_Black_Falchion]

This is why rehearsals are important. You always need to rehearse not having control of the conversation. The moment you lose control you need to fall back to the “Bottom Line Up Front” strategy. Pertinent information up front, cut out the jargon. You know what they want to know, so speak.

If you make it to Shark Tank you're either already succeeding or they just want to make fun of you.

[@samuelharding257]

It’s a great idea, but they are really starting out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually grow thsi in a couple of years and we see them having the first or one of the first companies producing airless tires.

[@dancingqueen919]

They have so much growth. They are worth millions now

[@MickeysCorner]

The way they are chopping off catalytic converters, they would be stealing tires left and right. You could not even lock your bike up if you had them on a bike. Tires come off so easy with a wrench. What about the wear and tare on the road or floors? And the cherry on top!!! They drive in on a scooter and a bike with rubber tires...That says it all.

[@baileealligood7862]

They already sell a set of bike tires and rims for 1700 dollars. They would be cheaper than the top tier bike tires. Front and rear DRIFT wheels built with Classified Powershift rear hub shell and front hub Powershift Kit, disc rotors/lockrings/thru axles not included Padded double wheel bag Pre-installed 27mm tubeless rim tape Pre-installed 50mm tubeless valves $1699.00 Ad said "last one".

[@Internet_Channel]

those customers are gonna be waiting on that waitlist for a very long time if they only have a 5,000 square foot lab and no production facility yet. The smart play is to license it as a premium tire to an existing manufacturer.

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

Why would a manufacturer pay for an inferior technology?

[@wahoooo8523]

It’s not inferior and if you can sell it they will buy it it’s not about why would they

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

@@wahoooo8523 You are delusional

Earl Cole from Survivor.

[@THE1ANDONLYCUBIX]

That’s what I said when I first watched this

[@J.L.K]

knew straight away and then it showed their names. Amazed no other comments mention his Survivor background

[@reneecarter6702]

Their pitch is adorable, but their evaluation is crazy. *I say this laying in bed with a grand to my name 😩

[@zachosborne6577]

I would just be smiling at Kevin hart the whole time like he was telling jokes

[@americanredneck8686]

The Tire may never go flat but after so many miles you have to replace the rubber and how much is that ?

[@Damage_Inc]

The guy in the astronaut outfit is a "serial" entrepreneur but he can't say anything about the execution and implementation of the business model. He's not an entrepreneur.

[@ranapartap1501]

which cereals did he invent?

[@mrhumble2937]

He is really smart. Was on Surivvor back in the day dominated socially. Problem is there was no business yet, it just started lol.

[@LS-kg6my]

The idea of licensing to existing tire manufacturers is great!

[@epicclips3284]

Barbra: he wasn't actually a astronaut so for those reasons I'm out.
