>Installation is a bitch (but you don't have to do it that often since you don't have to repair flats).>Since the rubber is softer than pneumatic tires in order to provide some cushioning, they're more prone to flatspots. If you lock up your tire to skid, you can quickly get uneven wear (see pic related for an extreme flatspot on a skateboard wheel). This in turn results in a bumpy ride.>Worse grip as anon already mentioned.>Heavier, so more sluggish ride quality.Basically the pneumatic tire is the most significant invention in the history of bicycle, and there's a good reason it's still the standard. Solid tires are a step backwards. If they were so good, everyone would be using them.
