That extra weight will also mean that more force is required to accelerate and change directions.

The nimbleness of a vehicle can be expressed as the ratio:

(Tire Contact Area * Tire Stickiness) / Vehicle Mass

Increasing the vehicle's mass while making the tires harder will lead to longer breaking distances and will cause a vehicle to understeer at lower speeds.

Just staple Post-Its to regular tyres.

it sounds like these wheels need to be much larger to offset the lower grip. Wonder how that affects the environment.
