+++++++++
My thoughts only:
The reason the "run-flats" are used is because you
wouldn't want to have to change a tire while someone's
trying to shove mortar rounds down your shorts. You
probably won't have that motivator even while trail
riding. You'll still get flats, you'll still have to
fix them. Is it going to be easier to change the tire
without them in there?
