Oh Man. TRX tires. I used to have them on a 6 series. They had to be the worst damn tire ever. They use to make this noise when drive les than 10 mph like in a parking lot. It sound like someone was making fart noises with there mouth. And they handled like shit. Then the 15 and 3/4 inch rims they fit what the fuck was that.

About those tweals, I dont think it would work without a sidewall. Especially with ice or snow how would they work properly if they are full of ice or snow.
