I received a pair of Tannus Airless tires ( https://tannustires.com/ ) for christmas, and have been waiting for good weather to install them.
While they weigh more than regular tires, they weigh less than the combined weight of regular tires + pump + patch kit, so it's a net win on weight.
For me, the biggest win is not about not worrying whether or not I get a flat, it's not having to pump the darn things up week in and week out before going out on my (admittedly city commuter) rides.
