I'll stick with rubber if for no other reason than looks! I guess you have to give them credit for being visonary though.

Wow Can you imagine what they look like going down the road. They would scare ofther drivers because you could see right through them. The tire dressing guys won't like this a bit.

If they were left open, can you imagine the snow and mud that could get packed in there?
