Tannus tyres: is this the end of the road for bike punctures?

Tannus, a family-run South Korean company with a background in the shoe industry, believes it has invented a solid tyre that performs just as well as its pneumatic counterpart.

The basis to their claim is a new polymer are calling Aither. Named after the Greek deity who embodied the pure 'upper air' that gods were said to breathe, the material encases minuscule air bubbles (each is about 10 micrometers wide) in a robust mesh of protective walling.
