You can’t reinvent the wheel. But… Traditional rubber tires are a source of environmental pollution, non-biodegradable waste, habitat destruction, greenhouse gas emissions, and the spread of disease. The harvesting of rubber trees leads to deforestation and destruction of tropical habitats. The rubber from the tire itself releases more air pollutants than car exhausts. And improperly discarded tires provide lush and luxurious habitats for disease-carrying mosquitoes. (Not good.)
So Zoltan Kemeny decided he would reinvent the wheel.
Using air-suspension technology made from steel, Global Air Cylinder (GAC) Wheels, provide an eco-friendly alternative that has the potential to completely revolutionize the tire industry by providing a cleaner, cost-effective, stronger, and safer alternative to the highly pollutant traditional rubber tire. So, you can.

New Rings on the Road: GACW Air Suspension Wheel
Time Magazine, Chris Stokel-Walker, October 24, 2023
A decade ago, the smoke of a tire-dump fire prompted Zoltan Kemeny to investigate. He discovered that such fires are just one example of rubber tires’ impact on the environment—everyday wear and tear leads to microparticle accumulation. So Kemeny invented Air Suspension Wheels, swapping out rubber for polyurethane or steel treads encircling a steel core. Kemeny’s company, Global Air Cylinder Wheels, plans to sell its 100% recyclable tires to a number of industries, starting with the mining sector, where wear on tires is often most severe.
