One of my to-do projects falls into this category; to be ridden little but not quite wall art, originally sew-ups but do I really want to mess with that? Of course, a modern-looking tread pattern ruins the look.

Not sure one must rely on that. Anyway, every time I read "fat tires are better", I keep thinking about the movie "
Sleeper" where Woody Allen's character wakes up in the future and is told "Smoke this cigarette, we've found they are good for you"
Anyway, I presume someone knows how to calculate the volume of the two toroidal shapes in question -- but it won't be me!
