They look great...

Rhinotire - Puncture Proof /Flat Proof Tires: Videos


But.. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is..

I'd love to see/hear a proper ride report on them.

Make sure you tell us all about these tyres on a long trip.




I did just find this review though....... Not as good as the company would have you believe then !

Indeed ,, will do ,, faithfully.
But what about the nails that gets stick in the tire ,, will it not wriggle around as tire rotates?
In the video tire rolls over the stationary bulletts...
That's the question for the Rhino folks ,, your experience?

isn't the green "slime" stuff as good and easy to buy ?

as far as I'm understand the review... well Rino tyres sales you a tyre that will fit your bike and than filling it with either the pink Ultraseal tyre gump or the green Slime or may even a simmilary gum...
not much different than what I'm riding for years now, even with HD-inner tubes... buy a tyre you like and fill it with gum...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
