Its like Nike Shox for your wheels. Also, I think they could still close the side wall and just put small holes in the tire to relieve pressure. They would look a lot better. ---

> [@Mikes98RT](#): > > somehow i jsut have a hard time seeing that holding up well under extreme cornorering. Why? Thier cross section is probably 20 times thicker than a conventional tire and depending on their construction, creating what was once “sidewall” stiffness would be unlimited. I am just wondering what a truck driver knows about “extreme cornering”… ---

I’d imagine that would be quite a bit more stable than your average car tire. Reposted several times. But I want to see it in action. ---

You’re also saving a shit load of weight from the air thats no longer needed… 15 pound wheel+tire combos? That would be awesome. ---

Probably not a good idea to make a snow variation of these unless the enclose them with a slim piece of rubber on each side. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-tires-tweel/11851.md?page=2)
