2126 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yah, I hear they're going to put a set of those babies on Michaels F1....less rotating mass and all. Have you seen the skidpads test results??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatRaveR Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I wonder how expensive these things will be when they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well you loose all the adjustment properties of the tire. Maybe they can replace the spokes with springs so the car can jump in the air at will, maybe brake dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I like daleMX's idea, but there should be tiny springs on threaded sleeves for adjustability... Seriously though, its very innovative. -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if your a Nascar fan just put a couple extra spring rubbers in the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
