Anyone up for some new/different tires?

I guess this will finally obsolete the 23" hoops? :lol:

(I hope, I hope :roll:

)

I can't imagine that the flex points on each spoke would last through too many years/months of flexing, before they break free.
One example is a dog-bone motor mount on some front wheel drive cars...the attaching points (rubber to metal) is often thin fingers of rubber. Those break quickly, especially if hammered hard.

Ice
In the winter you just cut off the tread and run on the paddles. I could use them today.

Use your wife's curling iron as a heated toothpick to clean 'em out? :lol:

That came out in 2005 if I recall. Interesting concept.

I think just the demos are open on the side.

I believe so as well. Production versions would likely have a sidewall to make them look more like a normal tire, and thus not scare off consumers...
