This is a typical example of something that on the surface sounds like a technological advancement, but due to poor application is a lot more trouble than it's worth. They may absorb some shock on landing if properly inflated, but I see no other potential advantage. Due to typical Chinese quality control and/or poor design they are not reliable. In addition to the kind of problem Dave is having, one tire may hold air while the other has a slow leak. Consequently l have to check and inflate my tires every time I go flying.

I wish Skymaster would go back to solid tires, they're a lot less hassle. Are you listening, Anton?

P.S. I feel the same way about their hydraulically damped/pressurized struts.
