I don’t quite get the purpose of that bike tire. Tubeless tires are basically puncture proof aswell. I’d imagine that much metal just makes it unecessarily heavy.
Puncture resistant, not puncture proof. Tubeless sets with sealant can take multiple punctures before losing too much air ans/or sealant.
Also larger punctures don’t get sealed by the sealant alone, but you need to fill the hole with something like rubber plugs
Puncture proof would mean that they can’t be punctured or that puncture had zero effect
They keep calling it lightweight but aren’t saying what that weight is. It’s gotta be in the ballpark of a rubber tire to really be viable, so I’d say 4lbs at the absolute top end. More than that and it may reduce rolling resistance while shooting itself in the foot with the added rotational mass.

Where do you get that from? Vehicle tires are all tubeless, they are far from puncture proof.
The tire sealant that is used inside tubeless bike tires seals small holes by itself. Driving over a nail is not going to be an issue.
