I've been thinking about this and what I came up with is barbs on the spikes. Once they penetrate the treadwall the whole strip can stick and fuck the whole wheel area all up. I've read that some of them are barbed but the pictures I've seen were involved more conical shapes. Still, perhaps some will be good for this already.

MTBs are NOT a good place to use tweels, you absolutely need a pneumatic tire to get maximum grip. All of those other places are very applicable, though

For my part I want them for a bus to RV conversion. They will have much longer lifespans than pneumatic because the sidewall is what fails on very old tires, and the sidewall on a tweel when there even is one is just there to keep crap out of the spokes. And there is enough engine noise (the vehicle in question has an 8.3 liter Cummins) that any additional is just irrelevant. It's also riding on air, so a slightly harder ride doesn't matter either.
