Time to start problems for the cops I see

Yup... about 2-3 years old. There are a few more pics out there, and a video somewhere.

I think they said in the video that they might be around in 10 years. So like 5-7 years until you might see them on a daily basis. If they ever catch on.

damn those are bad ass!!!!!!

i guess they never made it to the big time..or caught on... if its 2-3 years old...

haha..spike strips????...im the juggernaut biiiitch!!!!

i hope they dont catch on...there very interesting but there ugly IMO, they should use that concept but make it look like a normal tire

also...they wont go flat obviosly but it looks like theyed brake/rip evetually

[MadSpleen85]

They dont look like they would last too long. Looks almost like the car in motion is floating through the air with rubber floating around the brakes and magically holding the chasis up. LOL. UGLY IMO. This would be very interesting to see on like a H2. Probably couldnt suppor all that weight though. Later

My idea was that they would have sidewalls and that those pictures were just showing what the inside looks like instead of air.

Id be it could, since the h2 has a bigger rim/tire, there would be more spokes inside the tire, and more strength to support the weight.

True but I just cant see that much rubber being strong enough to hold up a H2 and not hurt its off road capabilities. With an added sidewall I would think would add to the stability of the tire and would make it look normal. Later

compressed air can do it, I dont see why steel belted reinforced rubber wouldnt be able to. of course, the rubber would have to be very stiff to make it work, which would in turn make it brittle, and I can imagine a tire like that being VERY heavy, but still I think it would work.

Yeah I'm not saying that I dont think it could work. Because I think it could I would just be, like you said, "VERY heavy." Later

wtf. You arent TypeG.

[YellowCord]

cool.

[MikeW]

if they dont have a sidewall, whats to stop someone from cutting or slicing the rubber spokes and leaving you with a "flat"?

seen it a while ago

finally i can put 22's in my integra
