LOL!

I'd go to the shops on it, but NWDN (No Way Down Nortons).

Looks great but on the video it does not look very smooth.

only if you want a bumpy ride and no grip from the wheels.

how much mud would they fill up with?

If that will be a future, I am gonna sticking with my old one.
It is better to have puncture rather than riding on flowers.

I prefer to have these wheels.
