They're solid foam and can't go flat. They're not very popular because they don't perform nearly as well as tires with tubes. They have a higher rolling resistance (ie, you have to pedal harder to go the same speed) and have a rougher ride.
Good quality tires don't puncture that often and, for most riders, are worth the trade off.
