they say Delivery is anticipated for 2011, but I have not seen any of these at AMG.. they are still installing Goodyear Wrangler MTR, and not the ones with Kevlar..they are using the thread pattern as the old ones.



I would have liked to seen these in person.. I am curious on how they work in all the different elements.. water, snow, sand and of course mud..

Very nice! This is a very interesting concept. I wonder how these tires are mounted on the rims? One disadvantage is certainly that you cannot adjust the air pressure, but for certain applications these must rock!

Well I suppose that's one way to fix a leaky CTIS system! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... oflmao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rotflmao:' />

wonder if those little holes hold mud and cause a wobble at cruising speeds?

THERE GOOD IN SAND <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> SEEN THEM AT SEMA IN 2009

I'm sure they could be filled with foam to keep mud and other depris out.
