I'd love to get feedback from the development guys on this. Imagine the tuning nightmare involved in getting the various combinations of spokes, tread, sidewall to work in each vehicle configuration & powertrain combination. Fun to clean too!!

A little dirt or mud in the "tire" and the whole wheel is out of balance!

I can't believe that before it made it to market, it winds up looking like a "normal" tire and has a closed sidewall. They leave it open to have us all talk about it, it's working.......

unacceptable for the road or track?

Fed regs require all that info & #s on the sidewall. Manufacturers want the advertising space at the race track. We want it to look like a tire. No go on that Flash Gordon crap!

Most tire experts would agree that the French made Michelins are the best constructed tire there is.

But their cars are at the bottom of the list according the a Top Gear poll. Clarkson said something like now he knows why the French are burning their cars.
