I've looked at a few of those devices, too. Definitely has its merits, but I'm still not real crazy about them, for two reasons basically:
1. Can cause outer wheel/tire to be out of balance, resulting in more vibrations.
2. Under some conditions, it pretty much defeats one of the best advantages duals have, of being two separate tires. If one tire leaks down, under the right conditions, something like that Cats Eye system will allow BOTH tires to leak down. Could make the situation much worse, cause you to have to replace two tires instead of one.
