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....  Thoughts?

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

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.
