Tires don't last forever...I could see this being an issue.

Is there something like this for car tires?

These tires look like they use about 4x the rubber.

More than the tires on my car lol

Can they make tires without these problems?

callalex Sep 7, 2023 View on HN

How would that reduce tire wear?

jjtheblunt Jan 6, 2024 View on HN

Obvious reason is immediate tire wear?

Good thing you don't have to worry about tires being remotely crippled :)

You think tire wear is less than road wear for a given load?

It's also pretty hard on the tires.
