In the April 2013 issue of 4Wheel & Off-Road under the "New Products" they show the "Tireballs Air Inflation System". This system has been around for a while for ATV's and Motorcycles but they now offer them for Offroad Vehicles (even though I couldn't find any mention on their website). Here is the paragraph from the magazine.
"Using proven military, industrial, and motorcycle technology, TireBalls now offers its unique Rock Crawler Multi-Cell inflation System for tires ranging from 38 to 42 inches. The High Performance Inflation System consists of multiple individual inflation cells inside your tire, not just one tube. The puncture of a TireBall inflated tire results in a single flat cell out of many, not a flat tire, allowing many puncture situations to be ignored. Information: TireBalls Inc., 877-847-3225, www.tireballs.com."
Has anyone had any experience with these? I don't think this would be good for a daily driven rig due to the fact that you would keep the tireballs at trail pressure and inflate the tire to road pressure, that would make it impossible to balance. But it does look like a great thing for the trailered rigs. No more worries when it comes to gashed side walls ending your day or making you limp back to the trailer for the spare.
