Say hello to the creatively-named "i-Flex", which appears to simplify and add lightness. And remove beauty. I wonder what a summer version would be called... "i-Flex S"?

14s? Pfft. In this day and age of rolling on 20s in your crossover? Never gonna happen with the new normal of 18+ inch wheels.

So true. I wish you could throw on 12" rims onto most cars, simply for the merit of moar power!

...at the wheels.

Huh...for some strange reason, I like it. I'd like to see how they perform but it still doesn't look all that bad to me.

so, whats wrong with air in a tire? Do you really get flats that often to where you are willing to trade the awesome qualities of air for this turd?

Yeah! Get your shit together Hankook. This is why we don't trust your tires. That and the fact that you advertise your tires with a dude in a wingsuit.

That's a great point. I could see them working around that somehow and making this work though. It's a cool idea for sure.
