This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

    I also do have most important tools, tube AND repair kit with me all times but you do realize that’s not majority of the people. A grandma could ride with the same tires for 20 years (mine did) and never having a flat during those years could definitely be worth it.

      I’ve never had a flat. It’s just a matter of being prepared for the one or two times in my entire life I get one.

      Tires like this significantly shift the cost/benefit analysis of biking in the first place, they’re just not practical for the vast majority of users.
