Re:Because Pneumatic Tires are Just Better (Score 1)

Tannus Airless road bike tires are just awesome. They're heavier, but I don't carry a pump or patch kit anymore and was running fairly heavy gatorskin tires before, so the extra weight nets out about even. Feels like a 110PSI inflation, maybe a little slower ride - wouldn't wanna race them - but not slow enough that I'm ever going back to pneumatic tires. The rubber isn't exactly solid, it's more like a very very dense closed-cell foam, so there's lots of air bubbles to create rebound energy that makes the ride feel more comfortable.
