The structure doesn't have to hold up forever, just outlast the tred on the tire

In theory it should be possible to come up with the appropriate configuration for a performance application that could withstand excessive high performance cornering.

But then again, that's in Theory. and everything works in Theory, in theory of course.

a big part of racing is adjusting tire pressures to best suit track conditins.....

GOT EVO - Understandable. There are ways that this can be achieved:
1. Create the tire so that is has a wide range of effective psi. Think of it similar to using progressive springs for your suspsesion. (but then all the same negatives apply).

2. Different tires for different conditions. Possible, but expensive and not really too practical.

Keep in mind that these are under the assumtion that these new tires have similar to better wear/performance then their air filled counterparts.


Personally, The only racing I see this effective with (as I mentioned above) is rally(WRC)/offroad/4x4. However they would need to insure that the torsional forces could be withstood.

Is it possible, yes. But are they going to do it/Is it practical... remains to be seen.
