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.
