Conclusion
For years, vehicles have been running on pneumatic
tyres and there was almost a full stop for any further
improvement of tyres. In 20th century the engineers have
come up with a new concept where the tyres never require
air, if the drawbacks that are being encountered presently
are and improved then there is good future for these tyres.
And the vehicles can run without the necessity of air.
