    Well Michelin is the ONLY tire I run on my GSXR. But you can get the same puncture protection by “sliming” your wheels....

    Wife bought a rav4 years back and it had run flats. At the time they were good for 20k mileage. Not sure what these say?

    I wonder how the rubber withstands sitting idle for long periods of time, in case the vehicle is rarely used.

    I’d definitely use them when they perfect them first, I think heat will be these type of tires enemy ?? I know they use that type of tire on John Deere zero turn mowers and seem to work well ... time will tell if they work or not?

    Being in the lawn care industry, I started seeing them on John Deere's a few years ago.
    My brother in law works at a tire place & I cannot get them for my mower for less than $500 each.! Stated to last 3x normal tires.
    I have watched mowers (with these tweels) drive over a glass bottle and not break it.
    I think their place is for commercial mowers that mow along streets. You could get nails, glass anything!
    The mowing tires completely negated a wheel. Maybe I should watch the video! Lol
    Prices are insane!
    Not sure if I would trust an evasive maneuver @ speed with no rebound... my $0.02

    Apparently, I can't watch that video without giving YouTube the permission to "track my activity". I wonder if there's an expiration date on that tracking...

    Hmmm, that doesn't come up on mine.

    Can you watch it if you click "Don't Allow"?

    Nope. Then it just closes that window and goes back to the forum page view.

    Not a biggie. Just thought it was funny.
