Oh yeah, they are definitely softer on impacts. I just mean that it's not like they're going to suck up and swallow your shovel (stop laughing, pervs). Especially in winter, anyone who's left for work in the morning with square tires knows how supple tire rubber is in January.

I would guess that they're quite grippy for bike paths too.

As an aside, has anyone else driven the highway between Houston and Galveston? There's a stretch that I think is rubber, it's quite weird, you're driving along and all of the sudden there's no road noise.
