The Superelastic Tire offers traction equal or superior to conventional pneumatic tires and eliminates both the possibility of puncture failures and running “under-inflated”, thereby improving automobile fuel efficiency and safety. Also, this tire design does not require an inner frame which both simplifies and lightens the tire/wheel assembly.
Except that NASA’s new tires are actually better than normal tires in the normal use cases. Hence the word invented. Did you actually read the article before criticising it?
Traction is not the only factor. How does this new tire affect steering? How much noise does it make as it rolls on the ground? How much noise does it make as air flows over it at high speed? How durable is it? How does it handle high rotational speeds? How does it handle impact? How does it handle braking? How does it handle different weather and road conditions, different temperatures? How does it treat the road surface? And can it be manufactured at such huge scales? There are plenty of reasons why it might very well be completely unsuitable as car tires.

Yes? I’m not here claiming it’s the perfect car tire, I’m merely disputing parent’s comment
That’s not inventing, that’s improving.
The word is clearly being misused for clickbait purposes.
Applying your logic nothing has ever been invented
Yeah that’s totally the take away and was obviously what I was saying… Go you!
Sounds like you need to go back to school and work on your English skills.
Oh no!
Anyway…
You were saying?
I was saying I didn’t give a shit about your pointless comment…
Anyway…
Clearly you do care otherwise you wouldn’t be responding.
Too much chlorine in your drinking water and gene pool.
