That's just momentary deflection, and if it doesn't damage the tire it should actually make the ride more comfortable.

Goodbye aftermarket rims! Hello aftermarket hubcaps

i wonder,
will there be "material fatigue" ?

haven't really looked into it but this might require a different shock absorber. with cheaper regular tires, i think this will be niche...

Matagal ng may mga mid size equipment ang gumagamit ng similar tire, like bobcats ang less than half ton capacity wheel excavators. Hindi lang siya uubra sa mga powerlift equipment.
