Default Sick of flat tires?

Amazing.
Probably strictly for street riding but who races on radials?

No idea. I was wondering the same thing, I searched and searched. I couldn't even find a website that sells them or anymore information. Only information I could find was the same video posted a zillion times.
I would say they are for street riding, nothing more; nothing less. They should perform as a regular radial.

I know right? When I seen the board with nails, I was extremely skeptical. Then he road over it slow and fast. Stopped on it, slammed the tires on them. Crazy!

It's gel, so I would imagine it's not persay, 'light'. Also, the 'rolling mass' needs to be taken into consideraton. I can not even give a good example.

I would imagine that it would slightly hinder performance. It's only a few ounces, but it's in the outer radius of the tires and that's a very critical area. I think it's gonna take off cuz it's prolly doable for cars as well. It's called Rhino whatever and that stuff is sprayed on truck beds, and undercarriages. It's a great idea and I think that it should be applied to all tires relatively cheap once it goes into production.

need tires (take offs)? PM me
need a deal on a track day? PM me

disclaimer: I sell used tires (take-offs), these tires have been used at Jennings, Homestead, etc. (road courses for those that dont know) therefor these tires are more used up on the sides than in the middle,
