spokes look pretty strong but it would suck to have to tap out every rock you get in between the spokes and a dust cover wouldnt work too well cause the entire thing bends and ---- :P

I'm sure they'll put a flexible thin cover of some sort, maybe a screen, hah.

Re: See-through tires from Michelin

for the majority of people they will be fine, of course motorsports will need specific tires for whatever type of racing it is. not really any different from now
