The video just said they are in use for low speed applications. I thought about that when I first saw them...That and cost, because you have to buy tires and wheels EVERY time they wear out.

I saw them for the first time at the Lima Jamboree. I looked right at my hubby and said, "I found my tires". They do not come out with the 17" until the third quarter of 2007. Also, they are about $200 a piece.
