I wonder how well they'll do when you go sliding on wet pavement.

They're not awesome. My dad manages a tire shop and he's heard a lot from people that have been around these and they all say they're not worth it. They're very expensive, I think something like 1000 per. And they ride like crap, they're very stiff. if you break one you obviously have to pony up for the full thing instead of just replacing the tire or whatnot. pneumatics are still the best for this application.

On an unrelated note, those replies are some of the stupidest things I've ever read.
