Every year many society die in car accidents, which is a disappointing fact. Quite often it is considering of high-speed blow-outs, or when driver forget to check the pressure. Even the small gap can be deadly at high speeds. It is even more critical in military, when tires are very vulnerable to damage. There were many interesting improvements to tire design to produce

them more durable and resistant to damage, like “run while flat” feature. Although they were safer than usual, they just couldn’t offer good protection from explosives or shrapnel. Military engineers were thinking how to form a tire that would be protected from shrapnel and even explosives, and they found a solution - tires without air at all!
