Pretty fuckin Schnazzy.

I wonder how they take corners at high rates of speed...

It's weird you made this thread, because today a friend of mine told me that some dude invented a tire that doesn't wear down at all, but they won't "release it" because then obviously the tire companies will lose repeat business if the tires never need to be replaced. Anyone know if there is some truth to this?

It's kind of the same thing in the way that people don't expect there to be a single "cure" for AIDS or cancer, but instead certain types of medication that will keep you alive while draining your bank account...

Don't think they would look right on my 22's. Seems like a good
idea. Chrome rims that won't bend against pot holes. That should be
next.

shit , i searched on gfy to see if it was posted before.... i didnt see any evidence...

Isnt your bus driving shift comin on soon?

No......

Those have been named Tweels (tire+wheel)...they aren't available to the public, performance reports on them have been pretty good for it's initial stages of development. I have seen reports that they are a little loud though...

If they make them in 35-40 inch sizes capable for off road use i'll take a set.

Hang on..... arnt RFT (Run Flat Tires) practically airless?

RFTs look a helluva lot better if you ask me.

coooooool!:thumbsup

i wouldn't buy them. they look fucking ugly

damn, those are pretty sick..as long as they perform as well, they look good 2 me:thumbsup

that tire idea is pretty neat! never heard/seen such a thing.
i wonder how it holds up....it has to have a life span.
