WHOLLY SCHNIKES! I've seen tires like the 1st picture, but those others are horrible. Radial seperation will do some funky stuff, that's for sure!

and I thought it was a tire going through puberty, so i guess if you squeeze it pus doesn't come out.

You know it's going to be a good day when you get the milk to cereal ratio correct on the first bowl.

Agreed. I have had ProComp ATs do the same thing. But I also had a set of Xterrain XTCs that were effin awsome. Never an issue, till I sliced one on some steel.

I'd like a set of those right now on my FJ! No flats... No beadlocks required. The perfect tire.

I wonder if they would pack up with mud? If so and you were in a mud hole they would get right heavy. they do look cool, I saw a thing about these for car tires a year or two ago, I figured they be out by now.
