JUST SAW THIS AND THOUGHT ITS KIND OF INTERESTING.http://www.michelinman.com/difference/r ... 2005a.html (http://www.michelinman.com/difference/releases/pressrelease01102005a.html) NOT QUITE SURE OF MY OPINION YET. THEY ARE KINDA COOL LOOKING AND A VERY GOOD IDEA. JUST A SIDE NOTE: THIS KIND OF DESIGN WAS ACTUALLY USED AGES AGO FOR WAGON WHEELS AND THERE WAS A PATENT FILED FOR IT. I DONT THINK IT EVER PASSED OR MAYBE JUST NEVER CAUGHT ON. AT LEAST THATS WHAT MY RIPLEY'S BOOK SAYS

Yeah, Ive heard of these before. Apparently theyre really good, but theyre also very noisy.

I really wouldn't want to get more low-profile than that. I've had tire blowouts at low speeds on the stock 15's that I have. The potholes by me can swallow cars.

That wouldn't be too shabby in some off-road action. Great idea for mountain and road bikes.
