Yeah be intresting to find out a) what they're worth and b) mileage expected as they HAVE to weigh a bit more than your normal type tyre.

Am I mistaken or is the polymer applied to any tyre you want ?

At first it seems like a good idea, but, what about the overall integrity of the tyre after you get a puncture? At least if your tyre goes flat you can plug it, pump it up, modify your riding accordingly and get it replaced ASAP.

If you don't know that you've had a puncture.... well, doesn't seem very safe to me.

Yeah I hear ya, as stated above, question is how much extra they cost, do they last longer/shorter than normal, do they affect the ride, would think they would have to afffect the ride if you're adding say even 1/2 a kilo of shit to each tyre... that's got to affect centre of gravity doesn't it?

How would you brake even using these? Would probably cost more than normal tyres... :D
