Sure, it looks tough to me.? Three and a half inches, poking right up through my low-profile tires, resting one quarter of the weight on my car -- like 1,000 pounds -- on a small point at the peak of the spike?? It seems like that could break a wheel not designed to bear weight there.

Add to that the forward force of 45 mph and it really escalates the pressure, especially for the first wheel to make contact.
