flat-free tires

 2022.7.2: web.gear/bike/flat-free tires:

. solid tires are slower with

a much higher resistance to rolling

because they don't conform to bumps,

but I have felt such a sense of security

knowing that my commute to work 

will not be slowed by a flat repair,

which can get messy and complicated,

not sure to succeed.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of amerityre

https://amerityre.com/our-flat-free-products/flat-free-bicycle-tires/

but they have made some design changes

since the tires I've tried.

. a folding bike I'm considering

comes with:

Muffin® Airless tires installed/$149

. another great choice is Tannus.

"Airless Muffin has gazillions of air cells"

more air than usual:

"almost half the weight of traditional

solid tires."

Muffins might be too soft in a desert?:

"The Muffin brand tires are quite hard when new. 

They soften up a little after some miles.

The highest temperatures my bike has seen

would be less than 90F.

They also tend to be at their softest in warm weather, 

so you get the best ride then. 

The coldest I've ridden with these tires is -8F.

The tires get a little stiffer but not too bad."
