Do tires exist that don't have these problems? Perhaps something made of a hard foam that doesn't deteriorate while stored?

- bluedino 10y agoThey had hard foam tire bikes when I was a kid but they didn't last long. And solid rubber tires are heavy. Decreasing rotating mass on a bicycle is always a good thing.
- jessaustin 10y agoI've found that keeping tires out of the sun makes the biggest difference. If kept out of the sun, bike tires can last a long time. One time I bought a bunch at the same time, and over the years I've regularly gotten one or two out of storage and found them satisfactory.
- achamayou 10y agoYes they do, for example: http://www.tannus.com http://www.tannus.com The trade off is that they're somewhat heavier and have more rolling resistance than a good air-filled tire.
