I've seen a buggy build where they took a couple of pounds of rubber out!

I hope you have a good tire cutting tool.

Have you got a design thought up or you just gonna use them first and see what goes?

they will get the chop eventualy,
There not way stiff, there seems to be lots of strength in the square sholder of the tyre, so that may need a bit of work.
I'v got six, so that gives me a couple to play with so I can get it right.
