Airless will be preferred on Mars. A given that they will be manufactured.
But I think they are a great idea for commercial use.. Who cares about road noise if you are an autonomous delivery vehicle.
But an essential item for commercial off the beaten track... If you're going to be using dirt roads with maybe sharp stones... it would be the preferred choice.
If the big companies suppress airless tyres, they will go the way of the Dodo, or the way of the Kodak when it invented and then shelved the digital camera.
Care about your tooling expenses all you want, the next guy is ready to step up.
