Re: NEW "SEE THRU" TIRES
Here's an offroad version.
Cool idea, they look kinda odd, maybe they could figure out a way to cap the sides to give the tires some mass.
One issue, how the hell are we supposed to 'air down' with these? Only one set density doesn't sound right, although the one pictured is conforming to those rocks pretty well.

Re: NEW "SEE THRU" TIRES
The biggest problem I see is the least little bit of ice or mud collecting inside is going to wreak havoc on the balance. Just imagine constantly cleaning those ribs out.
I would also guess cornering performance would suffer without sidewalls to distribute the loading, but who knows?

Re: NEW "SEE THRU" TIRES
Yea you would think conering would be affected but how it would feel "in the seat" i am not sure.. I would have to feel more squishy or unsettled.
