Doesn't look "airless" to me. I can actually see the air.

I'm sure those things roll GREAT.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that was the complaint the army/navy had when they tried using these on the Humvee. Great for low speed/crawling, terrible when the wheel was spinning fast. Not to mention they heat up when rolling.

The probability and cost of flats in a warzone might both be high, too.
