"i hit 47mph+ regularly on one hill going down and if a tire came off the rim at that speed"
I don't think that will be an issue because he was telling me that they sponsored a trike land speed record that hit a max speed of 78 mph. The only issue he had concerns about was long sustained speeds over 30 mph with our summer heat with 117 air temperatures. Our road temperatures can exceed 160+ here in Tucson. I have seen motorcycles fall over because the asphalt gets so hot it melts and allows the side stand to sink and the bike just falls over.
They sent me cutaway samples that you use to check the fit on your rim with and I was impressed with the fit on the Whizzer rim. I can't see it coming off on it's own under any stress loads seen by a motor scooter or bike. I will take photos of samples and how it fits tomorrow and post them.
I am not yet able to test them and as of yet can not recommend them. I will however post a link when I post the pictures of the samples. I got the link from an article that was covering their product DOT certification testing for use on passenger cars trucks and motorcycles. They did not however have an estimate on when the tires (Tyre) would be available for use on cars and trucks.
Link name came to me so here it is...

Bike tire info is a little hard to find so here is the easy way to get it.
PDF catalog: http://www.amerityre.com/resources/pdf/AmerityreProductCatalog.pdf
Go to the last page of the PDF and you will find the bike tire information.
I am told the tread selections are a little different and availability of the size and tread needs updated as well. He said it is an old PDF and needs to be updated. He also said they are putting all their time and resources into their product development and the DOT certification process.
