That's a cool video, but I've seen enough CG-salesy examples from vaporware projects--with similar animation and admittedly high-quality concept videos--to feel skeptical. Given how well similar tires seem to work for the military, and potentially low-cost replacement road-contact parts, I'd support it. However, my worry is... what if the manufacturer and or distributor went out of business? Will I have to replace all my tires just because one got a little shredded up from some debris? (I assume mixing tires which might have different sizes / radiuses is a bad idea)
