Hutchinson Atom Tire
I saw a video advertising these tubeless tires by Hutchinson. Has anyone used them? They are kinda pricey for one tire, something like $50! Im tired of pinch flats, but do these really make a diffrence?

Pinch flats can be avoided by pumping your tires to the appropriate PSI. I've yet to use any Hutchinson tires, but I am very interested in their Intensive tires.
Have anyone used their Intensive tires, not the clincher tubular one, the clincher one?

Airless tires, brah. So you can skid the hell out of them and make them into polygons.
