They already use the design in forklifts and other equipment. The tread is replaceable. The problem i've heard about them is that they don't perform awesomely under extreme breaking. Personally I hate the damn things, but they will help minimize the amount of rubber used in a tire. Rubber is in such short supply right now that heavy equipment tires are back ordered for more than 3 years! My guess is the first place we will see them in action will be rally racing. I bet you some of those teams are just itching to get a tire that won't go flat!

wait is there actually some kind of agreement in putting those things on a vehicle? they look reatarded, atleast just put some damn rubber on the sidewalls to make it look like something other than a ghettomobile
