Colored tires?

I should really post this in WTF!

As luck would have it, my MINI is Black, so I match already. But you Hyper Blue guys, let me know how this works out!

to bad the pictures on the site are horribly photoshopped. Funny thing is I came up with that Idea when I was ten along with breeding miniature cats (just ask my dad). Well I think the lady who genetically engineered miniature cats is making bank, but I'm not to sure about these guy.

If God had intended for tires to be of different colors then rubber trees would not all be black. They are black, right?............ :impatient

Seriously, I would not mind introducing a tad bit of color to the wheels. (white steelies w/ a body colored pin-stripe and a chrome baby-hubcap w/ MINI logo.

Tires might be a bit much. I'm not surprised I haven't seen these out on the road, but since we now have spinners I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

I love the gallery where the only vehicle pic they has is some guy (probably the tire guy) with baby blue tires on his pickup. Gee, why not pink on that bad boy?

That's going to sell a lot of tires.

I don't know about car tires but when I was in my teens, we had colored tires for our bikes. We did the whole freestyle thing so we liked for our tires to match the bike. I'm not sure why this process couldn't be applied to car tires. Not that I would get a set.

Even if they looked good they would always look dirty.
