Hey guys i was just floating around the net and found these. I dont know if anyone has posted this b4 or if its new. But have a look.

alsuwar: New Generation Tyres

I love the idea.

that links a year old, and im sure the actual tyres are over 4 years or so old.

Yeah it's the guy selling the fuse rails that have the duals. They're not really a bad idea.

haha, the old twin tyres. I got a set of those rims (moondish style) thinking of selling them soon. Main problem now is trying to find tyres for them. Good for puddles, they will not aquaplane and fun playing with inside/outside tyre pressure, but in the dry better off with standard tyres. Also they are f-kn heavy.

with the OP, i wonder how it'd affect sidewall flex. i'd have thought it might be pretty well nonexistant.

now if they can only build them with built in spinners
