umm i dont know what to say to those... I am torn between them, looks weird. but cool because its different wonder how well they are performance wise.. who makes them? anyone know

 

those are pretty sweet, well except they are ugly.

 

I saw an article on it about a month ago. Can't remember where though.

I believe Michelin or Dunlop is doing the testing on them. They're supposed to have some pretty awesome advantages over normal tires. Besides the fact that they can't go flat, they're supposed to weigh about 10 lbs., the rubber compound spokes are supposed to handle bumps a lot easier, and it said handling was significantly improved due to the fact that the air can't disperse the weight all around the inner wall of a normal tire. They're also supposed to be testing different compounds.

I'll see if I can find anything else.

 

Found it.

Looking at the pictures, I just realized something. You really have to watch your brake clearance on those.
