no no, no hijacking here, Joe is in on new tires as well. :tong Anywho I talked to Mike and my question was as I mentioned to you. Just how much would one have to purchase at very minimum to have a new tire put into production. Well I guess that was over Mike's head being the answer was that...lets just say not possible. So yeah I then looked else where and what came to mind was BRP (Bishop Racing Products) and he told me just for a mold we would be looking at about 15 grand. So that killed everything right then and there. BUT! when I spoke to em about the tire size I was looking for he did say he had some large rear Dragster/Rail tires. They are 9" and 4" wide, and he told me he could always bring it down to whatever size I needed that was smaller than 9". All this was making me all so hype till I found out that the tire is solid foam glued onto a rim, then what he calls (Cap'd) with rubber on the outside. So in the end you got a giant foam slick with rubber only on the outside and foam in the middle of the rim and rubber (ofcourse no rubber sidewall as the tire isn't completely enclosed being it's just solid foam wrapped with rubber)
