LoPresti Debuts 'NeverFlat LifeSavers' -- Air-Less Tires!

10 Year Warranty Against A Flat

We've had to sit on this for a while until the LoPresti folks were ready to release the details, but we can finally start writing about an intriguing new innovation from the folks at LoPresti Engineering.

LoPresti Engineering's latest product is an airless aviation tire with a solid carbon fiber band embedded in the circumference of the tire. RJ Siegel, LoPresti's CEO, notes that, "It's just about impossible to puncture this tire and even if you could, it still wouldn't go flat. It's a completely airless system with load and suspension characteristics matched to the aircraft's needs."

Their first product is specifically mated to Cirrus SR20 and SR22 airframes. Siegel opines that 99% of pilots have never veered off the runway with a flat tire, but those who have may be among the first in line for this 'lifesaving' product. "Using this technology we've seen improved performance in all measurable areas. Wear, traction and rolling resistance. We are so confident in the LifeSavers, we are offering them with a ten year warranty against a flat."
