I dont have any problems with them, they have been tested to be as good or better than a conventional tire.

My only concern is up here in the Spring and Fall.
Warm days...park car in puddle....puddle freezes overnight...car frozen down in 2 inches of ice in the morning.

 

But wouldn't they cover over the sides with rubber? Maybe they have them like that just to show how they work.

Just a thought.

 

Has anyone heard what their speed rating is?

I was also wondering about the sidewall blade_boy1. Stick those on your truck and go mudding and see what kind-o clods it throws up.

 

Damn 2" of ice... w/no sidewalls tweels may be challenged in that type weather. I’ve driven w/tires that were frozen, not extreme but the enough that the flat spot could be felt until they warmed up.

Scenario: drive through a decent puddle-o-slush at sundown with tweel shoes on, then park for the evening. What might happen in the morning when it’s driven off...
