Could this be the future of tire technology?

Today's problem? Too noisy at speeds of 50mph or higher...

We used to have a wagon on the farm that had wheels that looked like that.

If it'll hold up from a land mine blast maybe it'll survive those traffic devices!

As for the noise... maybe that Remus exhaust will cure the problem!

I was reviewing my Remus AVI files and found one that actually has a tire chirp with the DSC on. It does that sometimes at traffic lights. When I get back in on Sunday evening or Monday, I may swap it out in my sig.
