Let me guess.... you have to buy an entire new wheel instead of just a tire?

That was my thought when looking at the picture of it bending. How many bends will it take before it goes out-of-round?

Somebody else will need to be the first to try them...I certainly won't. lol

So far I've been lucky and have managed to stay below the radar....so far


I'm betting that the production version of this tire would probably have a sidewall. I bet they left the sidewall off for demonstration purposes
