Awesome!  I always wanted Bike Tires on my Vue! :P


I thought these were a hoax when I first heard about them earlier this year, but they are the real deal I guess...

They just seem so strange...  where will the 2Fast,2Furious crowd attach the "spinners" or chrome?

Sweet!

At first glance it looks a tad fragile, but I'm confident they know what they're doing.

I'll bite and buy a set, if the price is within my range. (Below 250 for all 4) Are they all season?

I had seen these earlier last month . .. same pics.

Surely those are prototype photos and they'll be adding a sidewall for the end product.  Otherwise, those are just too friggin ugly to buy.

I wonder what kind of performance you can expect out of those?  I'd imagine comparable...  Should be interesting to see.

Thanks sfg

Don't think those will fly well in markets with more than just passing snowfall.
