Similar products have been used for years in industrial equipment (forklifts, etc) and ground support equipment (bagage handlers, carts, etc). The primary benefits is lack of maintenance for equipment that sees alot of use in varying conditions (left outside, changing temperatures, etc) and they get huge amounts of tread life out of them.

I am sure that eventually we will start to see them in more applications as they get better technology and development. But they will have to be DOT approved to be used on the road and that will not happen any time soon.

many similar products also have a sideway so no mud or snow can get into the tire.

These guys all deserve a beating just for looking stupid.

How distinctly French. Is this the special Cirque du Soleil?

Okay, here's an off-base question: how would you stop a speeding vehicle fitted with these tires?

It looks like spike strips would be more or less useless... Shooting out the sidewalls may slow them down, but not necessarily take them out. Ideas?

Molten steal splashed in front of the vehicle might work Wouldn't exactly be practical, but it would melt those spoles like no one's business.
