Sallybrown I had no clue they had them too. Wow but how great. The police chasing cars when they lay them spikes accross the road you can fly right on over it and not be stuck  |

Cool concept. These tires will work great on slow speed equipment (like wheel barrols, graders, lawn tractors) but for high speed usage, not too sure. Especially in freezing snow / ice region (like my region) - that will allow "crud" inside their space cavity and change their weight balance. Unknown to some folks, the world does sell no-flat tires for vehicles today. Instead of air inside the tire, they have a softer rubber fill. Great tire on the white board but they don't perform very well in the real world either. Especially due to their added inner weight (which sucks more gas) and the risk of being unbalanced - which blows wheel hub bearings and grease seals. Ouch.
Only time will tell "in the real world" with this unique tire design.
