Remember when Michelin did this years back? I wonder if it will stick this time. They look sick!

If by "sick" you mean you threw up in your mouth a little bit, I agree . . .

They are just to show off Pirelli's new tires. Don't think they will be offered. Barcia talked about it at the press conference.

These look painted. The michelin's actually had colored compounds, which is why I believed they dropped them... the compounds were shit.

Rubber tires are usually white in colour before they're colored black.

At least that's the way it used to be. Times and formulations may have changed over the years.

Pirelli having some fun in the practice. But im no fan. I think it looks awful. Remember Pastrana had a couple of yellow tires in a freestyle event back in days. But no ty they look awful to me but maybe lovely to someone else Smile

Ya not pretty.

I remember when Travis ran them, I'm pretty sure the colour was actually mixed into the compound, and they were apparently slippery as all shit... These might be better traction wise than those were since it's paint and the knobbies are clean on top, but gosh dang they look nasty.

Maybe a cool idea on a Zook (to be confirmed), but here green & blue tires would have made it more watchable.

Here I can't stop laughing watching these guys, Jim Holley is shooting himself while the others are searching their xanax pills they dropped on the ground Smile

Anyway, at least marketing wise now we all know that new pirellis design are out there ! Smile

Yeah travis tires definitly had added colour into the blend. Yellow pretty much all the way through.
