Geeze, I've got plenty of airless tires. They all get that way, given enough time.

Pretty neat.
That was posted up here two years ago.
I just want to see what chuckholes do to the thing.
Can you imagine the gear reduction you get when you hammer the throttle and
it winds up and gets smaller...
And it opens up when you jam on the brakes and gets bigger..
Out to be fun to watch the cars dance in bumper to bumper traffic on the
expressway in the city <lol>

Or better yet, you drop the clutch and rip the center right out of one,
a la the notorious Porsche rubber-centered clutch disc...

Mercruiser I/O's had/have their drive hub like that for years. When the
rubber isolator lets go, you have three neutrals. Neutral forward, neutral
neutral, and neutral reverse..

Vaporware for the road.

Funny, I haven't read of any magazine doing a test against the stock
version around some race track.
