There's a Twin Tire test in this months Sport Compact Car. The tires did 
better in some areas. worse in others. Test car were a Diamond Star AWD, 
and a BMW 525 (old style). The worst thing about the TT are their gain in 
unsprung weight, the Diamond star car s wheels/w tires weigh 42lbs each (My 
ATS 16" w/ 225 40 Dunlops only weigh 31lbs). The TT weighed in at a scary 
64lbs each!!! Talk about unsprung weight! Ouch.
