wheeleez has been big in my family life....they have made things available to my son that otherwise wouldn't have been... I have thought and seen so
many uses for this great product......maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see being comfortable at speed on them (very soft)and think they mite be a bit too
bouncy and exposed to popping under common circumstances you'd see in a bug... that said...great product/company.
I wondered about side loading. Wheeleez says up to 360 lb load per wheel. TrikeBuggy offers them for the trikebuggy, but it is primarily being
built for use as paramotors. I don't think they have the same side loading as kite buggies.

exactly.........so soft and flexible...I don’t remember the psi #'s.seems like u could just keep putting air in and they'd just get bigger like a
baloon.... I just see them ripping right off the rim when put on a hard turn...then again if i only had a super soft riding area i'd try anything
Here is a set here on this huge land cruiser at WBB in 2010. Jason, the guy who built it said that he liked them but would not really want to use
them at speed! Check out the video at the 1:30 mark.
I've got one of their carts for my sit on top kayak and it works great. The thought about using them for the buggy has crossed my mind but, as stated
above, they are very squishy and I think the max tire pressure on mine is only like 8 psi or something. That, and they are quite short compared to
bigfoot tires. They do make a very nice product, though.
I wonder how the solid foam wheels would work on an atb? They can only hold 77 lbs per wheel so that would be 308 lbs total. They are fairly light and
at $30 for 4 of them it might be worth a test.

The utility wheels are only $15 for a set of 2. They aren't for soft ground but they look like they would work well in tall ish grass.

I've seen them in person and I don't think so. They would not last anytime on a buggy. If you are just slowly pulling a kayak, they would be fine.
Holding an edge and haulin a$$ , POP!.
