Twas the Tweel Thing!
 
I wonder how these would work on a 911?

At first it would seem that it wouldn't be able to manage any slip angles, but the picture of the car cornering suggests that it's not a problem. It does look like it squeeshes down a lot under load which might make it kind of squishy in some circumstances.

Hmmmmmm.... :rolleyes:

Much heavier than conventional tires, aren't they? This would make for a marked increase in unsprung weight, negatively affecting handling...

Holy Crap. This may get picked up by the "dubs" crowd for the see-through cool effect from the side.

I wish I knew more about how tires work dynamically to give an educated opinion; they do look a bit heavy and if that curb was a bit bigger it might hurt the pseudo-fikse

but really, I just don't know. interesting research.
