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

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.
