how would the polymer fill tires hold up in baja heat and terrain. we used them in construction equipment and they worked well. has anyone any experience using these airless tires in baja

those tires aren't ment for high speed.

when off road how fast are you going. the site i was looking at states for both off and on roads i didn't see anything about speed being a problem.

they state 35mph continuos use, 55 mph for 2 hours. i'm not moving much faster than 25mph on the dirt roads

i thought you'd use them 24/7 when i first read. we use them on our 10k pound forklifts and they bounce like crazy first thing in the morning before the rubber softens up a bit. other than that, don't really know.

with so many tire problems off road and on. I thought they might be ok to use 24/7. keep the trips to less than 2 hours at a time. It seems it would be fine for trips from buena vista to cabo and back and would be great not having to worry about flats when off roading. I just wonder how the ride and handling is at 55mph. i'll have to look into reports on such. the same for quads.
