Doesn't the military use airless tires of some sort (can't be shot out). I thought they were basically very firm sponges - lots of small air pockets. That would be great, but they might be heavy.

That's the "Tweel" from Michelin I believe.

Here's a story on it: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/27/eveningnews/main669888.shtml

Anyone ever heard of these guys (airless bicycle tires)?

How did the bike handle with them, aside from the weight issue?
