It looks like it would feel like driving with a not fully inflated tire. They seem to hold shape better at speed though, maybe due to the centripetal force.
 
Interesting design. Looks fitting for the Jeep more then a regular car. Wonder if you wrap a new tread when that wears out?

Can you imagine how horribly those tires would handle if you got something stuck in the webbing? Mud or rocks. Ouch!

Perpetual steering wheel shake. It is like when the open spaces between your wheel spoke gets filled with frozen snow. You feel you have a bad wheel balance issue.
