A pretty amazing concept, but i fail to see how efficient they would be for high performance applications. :?

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

My son's new John Deer mower has those tires. They are great unless he is on a side hill. They dig in with no sidewall.

I wonder how removing the air will increase the price of the tire? :twisted:

The one thought I had about these tires is that the holes will pick up rocks, mud, snow, slush and fling it on another car at 65 miles an hour breaking windows, denting doors, scratching paint. I guess the lawyers will make out fairly well.
