I would rock them on a set of HRE's

I did not see performance handling on twisties or anything. Seems more industrial in nature

Looks like no more curb rash

Then again, somethings just can't be avoided.

Built in shock absorbing material. No crappy air recoil. I'm sure if hey made a stiff track version they would be untouchable. I'd so kill someone to have those now!!

The main problem with tweel aplications on regular cars is that they are EXTREMELY noisy at middle to higher speeds. Grandma wouldn't like that.

I read a lot about them a couple of years ago.

I too have been watching these things for a few years now. I do belive that they are in use on construction vehicles now, like front-end loaders and some mining equipment.
