LMAO! It'll pick up snow and ice or mud and rocks, depending where you
live, and throw off the balance of the wheel. Having said that, Michelin
makes good "normal" tires. I've improved ride, handling and traction
by removing Goodyear tires and replacing them with equivalent Michelins
on several vehicles (one Jeep).

And can you imagine how it would throw that debris on the highway. :O

I'd be interested to see how that design handles lateral stress. Might
make a good airless spare but I doubt it's any good for offroading.

Didn't the Apollo Moon Buggy use tires something like that back in the
60's and 70's? They had a horrendous time with them throwing debris.

They could make a nice light spare though.
