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.

If you'd ever been tagged by one, you'd know they are definitely not "nice."
