I'll wager there are 2 reasons...
1. A non-belted tyre will be more supple over a rough surface
2. Nobody has bothered to try and develop one!

Isn't some of the gyroscopic force (which would give mid air stability/control) determinate on the area that's spinning though? So if your tyre balloons you get more control. I mean, it
sounds like a good theory, even if I'm totally wrong
