Not so, my local tyre shop was selling them. They didn't get popular and no one bothered with them since, but they were not research projects. I have personally had my hands on one.

I also found that a motorcycle place was using a stock of them, obviously not twin per whell but single per wheel on motorcycle sidecar rims so they had decent quality tyres, not using motorcycle tyres for a non-banking application.

I have mailed Avon to see what happened to them.

It's really a shame that now we have good rims (space saver) and they do make tyres, but limited as infrequent use. If only we could get some proper rubber this would be a major step forward I think.
