Sorry, couldn't find the right emoticon.

I liiiike it!
I'd put fat tires on my old MTB if they would fit.
They'd make for a comfy ride. What kind of tire pressure do they need? Maybe let a little air out for mud and snow?
They'd be a slower ride, making for some aerobic and quad gains.

I think it would be painful to replace the tires at 100.00 a piece though! kj.
WTF? I can buy a car tire for less than that!
For a Geo Metro perhaps...
But seriously, those tires are probably kevlar belted. I have kevlar belted tires for my commuter bike, and they weren't cheap.
Tirerack.com has numerous tire choices available for the current year Honda Accord for significantly less than $100 each: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?tireIndex=0&autoMake=Honda&autoYear=2014&autoModel=Accord+Sedan&autoModClar=LX&width=205%2F&ratio=65&diameter=16&sortCode=45010&skipOver=true&minSpeedRating=S&minLoadRating=S&tab=All
Years ago I purchased Kevlar-belted tires for my mountain bike -- there didn't cost anywhere near $100 each.

I imagine that if the phat tire catches on, the price will drop.

I was actually just giving sort of a rough average. I think you can get them from about 60 to 150. The 60.00 ones are made by Vee, which I think are pretty low end. I'm sure you're right though. kj.
