Just cherry picking some key properties of NiTinol which make it suitable for use in tyres:

Fatigue failures of nitinol devices are a constant subject of discussion.

Tyres that will fly apart in use, no issues there.

there has been a great deal of concern in the medical industry regarding the release of nickel, a known allergen and possible carcinogen.

As they wear down, the dust is carcinogenic. No issues there.

There are constant and long-running discussions regarding inclusions in nitinol

Failure points in the material are always present. Ok, no problem.

So you´re saying that technology developed for something that move 152 meters per hour isn't ideal for bike use? It explains the lack of brakes at least, you can just use you're feet!
