It says these tires cause less fatigue to the utv driver which is a very good thing because driving a sxs is so tiring.

At 50lbs per tire/wheel combo you better have a heck of an engine in your sport quad.

that is for a SxS/utility quad.  I am sure a much lower weight can be met when making for a sport atv.

I can definitely see these taking off as the technology progresses. I bet the military takes a serious look at this stuff first.

iv seen similar wheels years ago. car spare tires, military use. its trickling down to other markets now. There must be something about these wheels that didnt allow them to take off in such a wide use as we would think.
