If you are a pro or a top rider that wants to win a class in Xc racing you have to have them. I think that the price is a little high, but so are some other parts a little costly. With them you will not get a flat tire. In a race that has rocks it is a must if you want to win or finish high. aflat could cost you 1 or maybe 3 places.

Its not just the flat issue, it also greatly improves the ride and handling. Ballance was quoted saying "its like having an extra set of shocks". They will pay for themselves over time due to the fact that if your tire does get a hole, you can keep on running it instead of replacing it.

And if you are in a race and get a flat, do you stop? No, you keep riding till you get back to your pit and change the wheel. And during that riding with a flat tire you are bound to mess up your rim a bit. Maybe just just scuffed up, maybe bent, maybe broken. All this is avoided with the tire *****.
It all comes down to what you want, what you need, and what you can afford. Some people say it is crazy to spend $5000 on an ATV engine, but if you are a drag racer or hill shooter that is what you want and need. Same with tire ***** for serious XC racers.

Jeff- how is the ride improved? Are you running the equivalent of less pressure?
If so, how badly is cornering affected?
Are tireballs reuseable when it's time to replace the tires?

Cornering isn't badly effected at all! I have noticed I'm able to hold a slick inside line much easier without sliding out.
Yes, they are reuseable. I'm on the same set that I started testing last summer.
Hope this helps,
