    I'd use my pneumatic tires on that booth babe ohhhh yeah. Wait, did I just threaten to run that booth babe over? What I meant to say was I want to be inside her. #militaryvehicles

    @Miscellanea: My take on them is that they will not perform as well in softer terrain/sand as the current Michelin pneumatic tire will - #militaryvehicles

    Not impressed until I can get chromed and LED'd twenty-fo's on my Donk.

    Seriously, I've awaiting the development of a commercially available tweel for quite sometime. Hopefully, this will lead to that. #militaryvehicles

    hmmm, so I'm guessing there's no ability to adjust tyre pressures to compensate for differing terrains

    Sorry, Crack Pipe from me, sure it might be good on a military vehicle in a combatant role, but the truth of the matter is, Hummers, and other military spec vehicles have internal centralised tyre pressure systems for a reason, and that is for the ability to adjust tyre pressure for different road conditions #militaryvehicles

    Great idea, but I'm still a bit apprehensive about cornering force exerted on this if it's undergoing significant flex at the time. #militaryvehicles

    wasnt the main problem with these tires the noise they made at high speeds? I remember a while ago that they couldnt get past that issue. You could hear them from pretty far away because of the wheels. #militaryvehicles

    @dukeaw: I can see them acting as Coke bottle whistles, a few dozen of them, per wheel.

    Yeah, that's be even more annoying then studded snows in August or oversized mudder knobbies on a truck which has never seen dirt, much less mud. #militaryvehicles

    This looks impressive, but I'm going to withhold judgment until someone finds out what language they speak at Resilient. It concerns me that they won't just come right out and say it. #militaryvehicles
