Interesting.
Where's your buildup thread dude?
Here's a pic of a zook buggy that run a similar setup in the us. I think he went back to a regular wheel tyre setup after a while though.

Hope he's got sponsors payin for his rubber, cause EIGHT of them would be a nasty shock to the bank balance each time.

Only one way to find out, Im keen as when i can find time as im working weekends atm. It will be an intresting time. thats for sure.
If someone know a farmer that can acutally use them, im more than happy to sell them and the front wheels as well. we need to wheel em first though.
