Well then, I will just need to try a set of air free tires and come to my own conclusion about whether they are the right choice for me.

I don’t usually ride the bike much during the winter months, but in the spring I will procure a set of air free tires and do my own evaluation. I will report on this forum.

Hugh, I appreciate your input on this. Could you elaborate a bit on the failure modes for air free tires.
