Yep. Maybe it will grip, maybe not. Should fill with mud nicely.

+1 about the mud. Also likely to be cut up more on some surfaces as flints etc that might usually be pinged off out of harm's way by regular knobbles will be trapped by the pockets.

reminds me of that one that they had in the '90s...cant remember the name...featured in MBUK. It had mini suction cups on it so it would give super grip - there was even a pic of one stuck to a wall. Everyone was after them.....only to find out the whole thing was a joke.

One has to agree that the phrase "handles like no other" may not have been that well thought out. And as for the phrase "Native American red".......... :shock:

looks okay to me, a city slicker vs a hole punch, probably better than knobblies and tapered holes will shed mud no worse than any other tyre.

be interesting to try
