You can add spokes that go in the direction of the sidewall for better cornering and covers can be made for the side.

It will be interesting to see if this takes off...all of the tire shops around the country would be scrambling to adapt, that's for sure.

The idea has been around since 95!!!!!!!!!!1
If they would cover them to look more like a regular tire, and if you could fit them to some nice wheels... they might be a go in my book as long as they would be available in a wide width for traction.
I think they will have to be covered anyway... with no better than some people keep their cars, can you just imagine the crap that would gather in the flexible spokes.

I would imagine that they would cover the tire view up. if something gets stuck in the flexible spokes it becomes a liability. The cool thing is you can adjust for whatever you want depending on the spokes used. say you do a lot of hard cornering you can strengthen the outside of the tire. you wanna drag race you make it soft enough for perfect launches. it would help standardize a lot of stuff. for instance if your at stock weight use x spring for perfect hooks with said converter or if your autcrossing on a certaub track use this strength for har cornering in the third turn. etc etc
