Are they actually solid? Most of the "flatless" tires I've heard of are actually filled with foam to give *some* cushioning, although the ride is, by all reports, still pretty miserable.
Although I do wonder whether - for people who live in extreme environments, like near Goathead State Park and Preserve - some combination of solid/foam-filled tires plus a suspension might be useful.
