holy shit

nice i wan't some

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.

That's the imprssion I get...

That also looks pretty heavy

umm and if its an extra $200 a set (how much is it??) then is it worth taking a risk that u may have to buy a tyre if u get a puncture??

wot a pain in the arse to have to get that done to all ur tyres...

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?

will affect the rolling mass, wont break as well...

Brake even?

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