Run flat tires

I've never seen someone riding one of those

Probably for fat kids in fat america.

It's just another strategy to get money from people.

I saw a pair on the beach a few weeks ago. Other than that I can't think of a good use. I suppose they'd be good in mud, but they'd get heavy pretty quickly.

That was my first thought, too.

A lot of people are using them in really wet areas as well because they don't tear up wet trails nearly as badly as narrower tires and get better traction. They're also used in snow and, as you someone, sand. That one is a little more pronounced than most though.
Here's an article explaining them:

Yeah, pretty sure they were made for beaches, but douche bags have probably started riding them around non-coastal cities now.

Whatever gets those obese millenials off the couch I suppose.

I only know because I'm in the market for a new mountain bike and a friend of mine was selling his fatbike for about half price (and it was still $1200).

Fatbikes were originally designed for snow.

Yeah, I'd never seen these until I moved to Colorado. They're very big up there, because of the snow and wet trails.

Guy up in here in Michigan slaps motors on them, customizes them and sells them for $450. There's one that will make most of the SEC proud.

I was afraid to comment because it was all negative but I was like: ...I'd ride that shite.
