Would you want a new Jeep, if they could only have the military tread pattern? It's disconcerting to view a new vehicle with WW2 era military tires

What do you think... pretty weird to look at? Or a cool idea no one has thought of doing to a new car?

The tires and rims display area at SEMA, the stuff that captured my attention

Hands free tire mounting! This isn't the only one on the market, but it was the first I've sever seen

This tire seat is comfortable too!

The yellow and red rims are interesting, I haven't seen any 2 spoke rim before... I wonder about the balance

The above was particularly impressive, good concept for a display

If you have balanced tires, like I have, you'll probably appreciate the full range of all the weights this company http://www.cnblueocean.com/ displayed. Myself, I'm impressed.

This is one bitchin display wall

The lever in the below photo has a nail welded to it, and any passerby gets to puncture the tire as many times as they want to prove to themselves how perfectly inflated the tire remains.

Clever advertising from Pirelli

I don't know why it has dually front tires, but it's an attention grabber

Pink hot rod dualie... ya won't see another one of these

I don't remember seeing front leaf springs over each side of the front axle

I love the tire and rim combination

A close up from the photo below.. .it isn't often that people point and laugh at a custom

I just watched a cool show on HD Theater about tire repairs for the enormous earth movers, I learned retreading is about 60% the cost of new tires

the shop that was featured on the show is http://www.rdhtire.com/ in Cleveland

These are funny tire commercials, you might have seen them already, but I just came across the whale one

Grand National Roadser show coverage continues with the Boss custom Mustang with huge wheels

Here is the photo gallery of it at Sema http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/boss-stang-looks-real-cool-with.html

x rated advertising part 6, the ridiculous use of double entendre to sell tires and mufflers

there was so much of this, and I find it amusing, so I've posted a lot of it: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/rated%20R
