you have a point MuadPosted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 3:08 pmI guess they wil come with side walls, won't they? Trying to wash between the gaps will be a bugger.

Presume you're kidding!
It is just a cutaway section above - the real thing will obviously have sidewalls.
On a side note - it better be an improvement on the runflats BMW are currently running on their cars - a rock hard ride and worse handling than regular tyres. No wonder they don't run them on their performance "M" models.
The above looks like a good idea but I bet it'll take a few years before improvements to the design start to make sense over non-runflat tyres.

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:45 amYeah, I read that review a couple of months ago... that picture is acurate -there are no sidewalls... weird... I wouldn't put them on my car thats for sure 
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:06 pmMight consider it if the inner walls came colour coded to the car, might look better. One issue is cop's can't use a stinger to stop a chase.
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:07 pmcops should be chasing you in the 1st place..
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:21 pmeer, not me cop's can't catch me. (ok got me once and now have 3 points)
I mean if a car with these tyre's were to be taken unlawfully or driven while under the influence?
