Do you think something like this would be made available for motorcycle tires? Motorcycles are significantly more vulnerable to tire-caused crashes because a motorcycle whose one tire violently decompresses on a highway or autobahn is very likely to have a crash since it can no longer balance, while a car that loses a tire still has 3 other tires and will still have plenty of traction and balance left to pull over. Something like this that makes violent decompression impossible would be a fairly big improvement to motorcycle safety.
- harambae 5y agoI wonder this myself. I'm not sure the technology is ready for street bike speeds, but some of the speeds you do on a dirtbike with tight turns and technical terrains.. maybe. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/michelin-bib-mousse-foam-tube-p https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/michelin... An "equivalent psi" of 13, which is basically what I run my dirtbike at anyway in the New Hampshire forest trails. Although this is slightly different since it replaces the tube not the whole tire.
