Oh, those things...

As long as they don't get clogged with stones and mud ridiculously quick, great.

In theory, yes.

In practice, there's severe vibration above about 50 kph (i.e. any sort of meaningful speed), unpleasant amounts of noise, less ride comfort and increased rolling resistance, which will do wonders for fuel consumption (in a bad way, that is).

Intriguing design, I'll at least give you that. I'll have to experience the tires myself before I make any judgement on their performance.

Yeah I remember hearing a few years ago that somebody was trying to develop the "tweel" for cars. It never really seemed to go too far past the experimental/photoshoot for chap magazines stage.
