No more blow-outs, even if you run over a spike strip.

look at the 'sidewall' flex!

I'm moving to Theory, everything works there.

No trees were killed in the making of this post.... However, a large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

It is compressed but the sidewall looks like it is still in line vertically with the wheel. A tire that allows the ability to have such a large contact patch without getting squirmy on flimsy sidewalls would be great. A set of those wrapped in Hoosier compound........

Anyone know the weight of each wheel/tire combo?
