Nu12 (6) by Akeel Dalisay - no flat tires

DALISAY, AKEEL SOLID TIRES FOR PRIVATE VEHICLES Ever had a flat tire in the middle of the road? Such a hassle, isn't it? Worstis, if you don't know how to change a tire. Why can't we just have a solid tire (like those used in Formula 1 Racing), instead of a pneumatic tire which is prone to being deflated? "Many tires used in industrial and commercial applications are non-pneumatic, and are manufactured from solid rubber and plastic compounds via molding operations. Solid tires include those used for lawn mowers, skateboards, golf carts, scooters, and many types of light industrial vehicles, carts, and trailers. One of the most common applications for solid tires is for material handling equipment (forklifts). Such tires are installed by means of a hydraulic tire press." Solid tires are primarily made of solid rubber; they need not have to be filled with air, thus literally, no "flat tire". This be heavier and will cost more, yet, I guess its durability and "no-flat" assurance can compensate its negative features. It also has a minimal maintenance as you don't have to check your tire pressures from time to time. It also provides better traction and grip on the road (avoids slips), thus improving handling and minimizing traction-related vehicular accidents. There should be a marking on the tire which will indicate when to change tires due to its wear-and-tear.  3  <used in the military and construction;  there are gel filled tires that automatically seal off punctures;  the gel can be inflated into tires
