Very cool but I wonder how it affects the flex of the tire, additional weight, etc. Maybe on a car I'd use that but tires on a bike I get nervous of mucking with them. Tires are such an important part of the bike

But very cool nonetheless. Especially the drill and screw, no bubbles.

Anyone ever see the guys who race sport bikes on ice in the midwest? I think they treat the tires with something like that and drill screws into them to make sport bike ice knobby tires. I could be wrong though. Still, pretty interesting stuff.

They have something similar for bicycle tires, works well but is a bit heavier...

I've seen spiked tires, but I don't think I've ever seen people with screws in them...

God, I need this stuff for my truck. I had three flats last week alone and about 10 or 11 since I started driving just over four years ago. I need to invest in a hydraulic jack...

I used to tread a friend's dirt bike tires with hex screws for ice traction. The screws themselves have a lot of bite but aren't very long. They screw right into the knobby treads without actually penetrating into the tire itself.
