Who needs air...

for their tires, anyways!

First heard of these a year or two ago at a car show. For those that haven't seen it...cool concept.

Interesting Idea, I wondering how it wears, and of course the $$. They would definately eliminate flats when the sidewall gets ripped out while in rocky terrain, something I've had problems with. :ride: eclipsee_steering

Again, Interesting Concept.

Wonder how they handle packed full of mud or snow? My truck sees as much dirt as it does pavement, so it'd be interesting to see how those tires handle real terrain rather than just a rain-soaked road.

Not sure how good they would handle rocky terrain. I guess that how they showed them being used by a frontend loader (or Bobcat) means that they can take some abuse. Even if these are only developed for the road, I think it would be great.

I have seen these before. What I want to know is what the hell is that four wheeler looking bike thing? The dude was doing a wheelie and riding it in the hills. What is it?

They look cool. I saw that clip about a year ago.

Sorry officers, those spike strips won't do the trick with these.
