Car mats can work, but you have to be picky about the type you get.
I've found that most don't work with the tie-up method (not enough tensile strength), and I'd rather not use tape if possible.
But, for extra protection under a layer of tape, they should absorb impact quite well.

Coo. I think i would do that at some point and maybe use them as tire socks some how to. Even if they dont last long they would be really east and cheap to change.

I'm thinking of using them as base for nail hoofs ( Spikies ), but old wore tire would work maybe just as well  :-\

I have never had a problem will grip on grass, wet grass or snowy grass. The only places I have had problem with grip was on the show on the pavements and walking down that big slope in wind and rain for sport releif mile. And they are pretty extreme cases.

That's why some of us use a hole-punch tool instead  ;)

yeah hole punch for the win!!!
so ive made another couple of sets of these and was wondering if anyone was interested in buying a pair, they are not for sale just yet as im waiting for the eyelet tool to arrive, as im gonna use 5mm eyelets to reinforce the holes.
these are all brand new tyres also, not skidded out secnd hand things
like i said its just a thought at the minute, each pair takes around 2hours to cut and then  punch the holes and i have blind stag (no eyed dear :biggrin:) how long the eyelets will take to put in.
initial thoughts are £10 posted for the pair, your thoughts please.

£10... that's a bargain!!! :o

Mine cost more than that to make in the first place! :P lol.
Where are you buying your tyres and eyelets from? :)
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.
