I just read that Michelin has come out with a self-sealing tire. I comes standard on the Chevy Bolt as a way to save space by not having a spare tire.
The self-sealing technique appears very similar to the Ride-On system. The difference is that the Michelin tire comes with the sealant already built-in.
Since a flat tire on a motorcycle (I've had 2 so far on my ST1300) is much more inconvenient than a flat tire on a car, I'd be very interested in this technology. However, looking at Michelin's website, I can't even find a self-sealing car tire. I suspect they may be manufacturing them for installation on new vehicles only, but I'd be interested if there's any more information available.
