Default Interesting new product

Anyone seen this yet?

http://www.rhinotireusa.com/

Once it becomes more available, this might be a solution for non run-flats.

It's probably the founder, or manager or some other employee of the company. They just set up their website this last August and still on a tight budget so can't afford a professional advertisement. Give em a break and lets see if the technology actually works.

This appears to have a layer of the sealing goop built right into the tire.

From what I've read, it's not like Slime.

Rhino Tire is a breakthrough anti-flat tire sealing and restorative technology solution, consisting of a prior to use treatment of the tread area of the tires. The technology consist of application of a unique patented polymer material on the interior area of the tire (directly bellow the tread area) that will instantly seal any punctures or
cuts up to ¼ of an inch in diameter.

The material is a soft solid that works between minus 25 and 70 degrees Celsius. It is water-proof, non-poisonous, non-erosive, and will outlast your tires and even your automobile! The molecular consistence is proven and tested to be physically and chemically stable under all conditions. The material has shown to outlast the tire itself. The solution includes balancing of the tire after tire treatment.

I emailed them to see when and if this will be available. I have two applications for this product right now if it works.

I'd use it on my bike for sure. If it does all that the mfg. states it is the second coming!! You would think it would migrate at high revolutions on a warm day. Could be very cool product.

I would take the product more seriously if the music in the intro video wasn't so horrendous.
The product looks promising, but the website is full of marketing lingo and promises. I hope it does all it says though!
