    That looks great to me. Brilliant idea, if it works.

    I am just wondering how this kind of tyres affect the drive.

    I mean you wouldnt wanna have cars skidding of the road on every corner.

    Especially here in Europe where we actually need cars that can do the corner

    Probably quite good in a straight line, but I think there would be a hell of a lot of flex when you corner which would have to be sorted.

    Seen it before, but great idea

    Well it depends on the shape of those spokes. They may be sufficiently wide that they only flex in 1 direction

    Found another pic of the car turning, I'm sure they are being well tested for skids, high speed turning, and of course drag strip burn outs!

    Wow, I take it back then. He seems to be cornering at some speed there and they seem to be taking it well

    Yeah the spokes are like the width of the wheel, but thin the other way. They should only flex in one direction.
