There about $260 a tire. So your lookin at a little over $1,000 for the full set...:eek:

They actually improve traction and they don't have the bounce that a tire with air in it does. They act like another set of shocks.

They seem to have allot of problems Desert Racing. There was a long thread about this on sportquad.com awhile back.

Some people use air in them some dont.
I add nitrogen to my tires with the tireballs

Just like Jeff said they are like a shock,they also dampen the severe blow of hitting a rut,root,rock or any other object hard.

I have loaned my set to 2 buddies who race and now 1 owns a set and the other is gettign them. I highly recommend them.

Now I have heard and experienced them on the road or hard pack dirt road on a wide open section like pinned in 5th they tend to wobble just a little but its barely noticable though.

Post the link to that thread.
