oh yeah saw them yonks back on some vid....weird...

 

Oh strange and look weird rather have a normal tyre though I think?

 

I would imagine that they would be released with a side wall and the pics are for illustration purposes to demonstrate the internal structure.
I'd defo buy some if they had a side wall.

 

not too keen if i'm honest they look shit lol

 

Agreed. Fooking awful.

 

If they were any good, surely they'd be in some form of motorsport or other? Noone likes a puncture.

Looks aside, think I'll stick to my normal tyres cheers.

 

think id rather have 3 spokes lol, some awful stuff for sale lately on the intaweb

 

Wonder if there would be much tire flex at high speed and hard cornering...

 

That has been doing the rounds for some 10-15 years. Clearly not that hot if they still arent in production.

 

i thought they were brand new things lol.. .. think youd probably be able to feel everythin when your driving with them,, they dont look safe at alll

 

Looking at them again wouldnt they sort of fold and go flat under heavy breaking and do the same with fast acceleration?

 

as above they were developed at least 15 years ago and still aint hit the market, that says it all rally, plus wheel choice would be out the window too seeing as they require a deformable wheel

 

Exactly, the 'flexible spokes' are bound to break in one way or another if you hit large-ish sizes holes or a kerb or even a small bump,,and under heavy breaking id expect them to do the same... 'Danger' and 'waste of money' springs to mind...

 

ugh, they look rubbish

 

omg they are aweful

 

Five o would be unable to use the stop stick if these were put into production and used, so one would guess that these would be the tyre of choice for all the highway villans out there

Think yould be more pissed about the wheel is deformable. Lol bet the tyres are cheep compaird to the wheels

 

Not a bad idear if it can match current tyre tec but you could not ajust them so thats a down side
