  1. I don't believe the "pressure" not being effected. I expect the stiffness of the tire to severely deviate with temperature. In hot weather the "spokes" will be softer. I also expect them to get hot just by driving and absorb more energy than air tires. And develop cracks over time, breaking before the run surface wears out. Once some spokes are out, you will get severe bonking and need immediate replacement. The more I think about this, the more problems pop up. This is just a gimmick.
