What are the driving dynamics of such a fat tire setup?
Obviously, it's gonna be slow...but is this any advantage on the highway in terms of smoothness? Stability? Ride comfort? I mean, sure it looks like ass, but does it ride like ass in every single capacity, or is there any arguable advantage to such a setup? I understand that customization is a very personal thing, and just because I think it's stupid, doesn't mean it doesn't float someone else's boat...I'm just wondering if ANY argument can be made in the defense of such a modification as having improved characteristics in ANY way? ...Or is it just ugly, and dangerous?

Totally, a very arguable advantage that nobody has mentioned yet. Floatability. All it is is a 2 wheeled version of this bad boy
