I'm pretty sure its Michelin. It will have sidewalls and I think it comes mounted on the wheel or something odd like that

The tire will have sidewalls in the consumer version. It was left open for demo purposes only.

I figured it was just the core demo and yes they are Michelins. I thought they look neat in the one motion side view. The downside would be the amount of time it would take to clean out all the slots. I also wonder what there weight would be vs. convention tires.

Would these only be available on factory rims? They seem to be mounted in an odd way...

Either way, I wonder how they are for drag racing No sidewall flex?

Saw these on the discovery channel, lol. They are lighter, stronger, cheaper and handle better than conventional tires....or so the show went.
