    For the passenger? Very safe.

    For the pedestrians that get hit? Ha! They’re literally death machines. At this point, I’m surprised we’re not putting spikes on the front of the car Mad Max style to ensure the pedestrians’ death.

        These certainly do have a use on freight trucks but not your urban crawler tho. They help identify loose and rotating lugs and give you a little means to know when you’re too close to a curb. Plus as you drive you can shred other people’s tires.

        Edit: these being the silver spikes not the ghetto push on hubcaps

        Those look like they’re far more likely to destroy your rims when they tangle up a branch or bundle of fencing wire on the road than ever do you an ounce of good.
