This invention is a fairly simple improvement to automotive tires that will provide a much softer ride for the passengers and cargo. Since ride quality is a great selling point for suspension and tires, this would seem an extremely desirable improvement.
Modern tires tend to keep getting wider contours, which means lower height sidewalls.
This necessarily requires more straight, vertical sidewalls, which means less cushioning of road irregularities. History Early tires were not much more than doughnut shaped balloons wrapped around a wheel. The cross-sectional area of the tire was rather round, and the function of the rubber of the tire was primarily to protect the inner tube and the compressed air within it. The tire sidewalls were extremely convex. This allowed them to flex rather easily when road irregularities were encountered.
