Those look like concept pictures...probably not a production tire. Somebody correct me if they've see these though.

I think that's the original concept model. The tires were probably specially made for the show model

Very little sidewall to them. Wouldn't last long in the rocks.

They are a "special camping tire"...you make waffles with them in the morning and then tracks in the afternoon.

I was watching some performance car show, maybe overhaulin, and they made some custom tread tires.

BFG or someone si ilar sent out a guy with basically 4 racing slicks, just a thicker layer around the tire, and he layed a template on the tire, lightly coated it with spray paint, and cut away with a specialized dremel. It was very cool. Almost a shame that someone might drive on them.
