    On all pictures that I find, these airless tires have open sides. Wouldn’t that accumulate huge amounts of snow, dirt etc. over time? And if a small rock gets trapped between the rubber, that’s probably also not ideal for the longevity of the tire?

      My guess is that when they go into production, they’ll probably have sidewalls. I think the pre-prod ones are too show the technology inside.
