This is cool, How long before someone puts those tires on a RZR? I bet someone already has!

I got an email from them today advertising that thing. Those non-pneumatic tires look pretty cool and they seem to conform to the terrain pretty well but don't look like they have a very aggressive tread. I would think that there would have to be a different design with a higher load range in order for it to work on a RZR though. A RZR is going to be roughly 400+ lbs heavier than a Sportsman before you add in an extra passenger.

Looks like if they made sets for the rzr the way they flexed on the rocks it sure would smooth out the ride on rocky roads(not the ice cream rocky road) trail rocky roads:lol!:

A Recycling center close to where my auto shop was , had some just like this for over 10 years on a bob cat driving over steel and all kinds of shit. and there still on there today. they were busting air tires every other day. if they make more aggressive thread they would be bad ass....

Yeah, they look promising. I am looking forward to seeing if they decide to go with a more aggressive tread. Also, i wonder how bad mud would cake up in all those holes? It seems like it could really pack in. I don't ride mud, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

Those tires are expensive I read somewhere, cool concept and more aggressive read would be cool. Think what a stick through one would do though

Stick thru the spokes was always a bad thing on bicycles

I believe that they need some kind of sidewall on them to keep the mud from packing into them. But I think the plan for them were hard packed and sand riding mainly.

I am not sure how they will handle while sliding sideways through the turns on the trails and on the gravel roads.
