First off, I’m mightily impressed you managed to seat it, fix it, and air it up. I know very few owner operators who would even go into those lengths. Good job.
I think eventually we will switch to foam filled tires. These already exist in the dirt bike world. It’s a foam insert and you can get different densities to simulate certain air pressure. Makes the tire completely immune to flats. The only downside is the foam only lasts a little while, maybe 100 hours before it breaks down. However, I believe we will figure it out soon. -

When they have been run flat you can hear faint piping almost like plucking a dead banjo string when airing up. If you hear it just quit it’s no good lol

a shipping container chassis with leaf springs will beat you to death in the cab even if you have air bags on the tractor drive axles -
They have the vanes like your picture, but not as “deep”. Never a flat, however.
Oxbow Thanks this. -
pretty sure filled tires aren’t allowed on public road, we used to run them in the landfill, but that was also a Mack so it already rode like ####
