I think you mean
Resilient Technologies out of Wausau, Wisconsin. As far as I can tell, they are for military Humvees at this point. Not sure about the downsides, but I would imagine that if your tire got shot in Iraq and these allowed you to make it back to base, they would be worth their weight in gold to you.
