Actually, I think they're off-road tires, like those you'd find on garden tractors, etc.. I've used those garden tractor tires on low-speed trailers, though, since they're mostly 5x4.5 bolt patterns with big center holes, they'll fit a large number of american car hubs and several Jap hubs too.

I'm not suggesting that we put these things on high speed vehicles, or on trucks that are meant to haul stuff around (even at low speeds), but maybe for a GEM electric car-type thing, it would be a viable option.

I'm still going to use them if I ever get a chance to go to a track and run again, though.
