Give me a break, I had my ways we'd load up all these *blank blank* tree huggers on a barge and ship them off to a remote island in the middle of the ocean, strip them of all their resources except the clothes on their back and leave them there!



Why is this a surprise? Don't you pay attention?

I even had to give a guy a ride home after I came across him on his dirtbike a couple miles down trai with a spike in his tire.

the ******* pushed the spikes on rubber mounts so when you ride over them, they lodge in your tire.

here's a few pics of some I've uncovered in the trail.
Holy crap those are some serious spikes! Hopefully something is done about that guy.

Never really noticed it before, I live in a very conservative republican state so there aren't many environmentalists around here. Never heard of this stuff happening around here anyhow. Most everyone in the state owns a atv or motorcycle of some kind.

i've seen them on bobcats, LULL telescoping forklifts and regular forklifts. no flats....
Those would be awesome, they would probably outlast our atvs too. Bobcat and tractor tires are tough as it is, can't imagine how durable puncture proof ones like that are. Not cheap either, but in the long run they'd be a worthy investment.

it's about time they catch up with the LULL forklifts and bobcats skid loaders. i just hope the "sidewall" strength is good. i presume it would be and has gone through rigorous trials.

I'm surprised it has a separate tire and wheel instead of a tweel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweel

Love to know the weight of those new airless tires.
May need a bigbore just to turn little 24" wheels. There is always a down side.
