MilitantPotato;

Not sure that I would agree. The OP listed his commute as 25 miles each way. If the airless tires are as hard rolling as I see claimed then they could slow him down more than a puncture repair would.

I always figured that if airless tires were very good then Dunlop's invention of the pneumatic tire in 1888 would not have taken over as fast as it did. Within 5 years or so pneumatic tires had well over 50% of the British market and within 10 years you could not buy a bike without pneumatic tires from what I have read.
