Okay, so perhaps it's more apt to say 'reinventing the tire', but you get my point.

Sweet!!! Tires that lean into the corners....
For some reason, watching that vid...I kept thinking of the piano wire wheels on
that buggy from the moon trip.

Oh, cool. Hey honey, I bought a new car for us. It was only 80k. 60k of it was for smart rims n smart tires. Cool, huh?
all I could think about the leaning tires is, if I can manage to get gravel into my brakes, I'd be SURE to jam them suckers up good.
We tried some on trucks a few years back. Not up to the work. Toyo and Michelin seem to be the best for on/off road and are well worth the few extra dollars for work vehicles.
Mine are the double studded winter tires on my little car/truck/van/station wagon thing.
Second season with them. So far, so good, & still awesome.
Best AT tire I found for this area seems to be Goodrich's TA KOs. I never take em off the truck till they wear out. I have Vic (my tire dude) give them a shallow sipe every winter for grip on ice and slickery snow. Used to have Coopers on and they weren't too bad either.
Goob, I toldja, that's a station wagon. More popular term these days seems to be SUV (or in my terms, a spute).

Not impressed-tires already move under pressure that's why they're filled with air-or hydrogen.
I bet it was a fun video to make though.

Hmmm- I've used winter studs for eight years, and swear by them. However, I drive a 1999 Chevy Malibu, which has 'redundant engineering strength'.Mine are the double studded winter tires on my little car/truck/van/station wagon thing.

A lot of new cars have much lighter drive line components, and studded tries strain the driveline components.
