Pretty cool. Didn't read it all but I guess you would get a smaller number of ribs for a tire used for drag racing.

What a great idea. I bet you could make a drag tire that expands and also wrinkles...

Saw these tires over a year ago. But it is a sweet idea.

There are actually in production now. I've seen them on the carts on the airports in the colder climates especially.
