How are they worthless? I for one think the idea will make millions. Im pretty sure we arent the targeted market for this style of tire anyway.

To bad the tire is bonded to the wheel so every time a tire wears out both the tire and wheel have to be replaced

True runflats there... that would be cool, but you loose the ability to adjust tire pressure for weather, or temp, etc.

those tires would be a bitch to mount if it had to be done the current way.

Just a question. We all know that the biger the Wheels like from 15 to 18's the ride gets ruffer. What is holding out the tire does it flex or is going to be solid. I think it is a great idea but it looks like it will ride like crap and the road noise will be way to load.

I like the idea....
but look at the pic of the audi turning you see how much tread is on the ground. i think those would make some nice road track tires.
any thoughts on that.
