Ok, that is pretty darn cool. I wonder how my smiling mug would look rotating at 80mph. Can we get this technology on the LC pads?

[Shane731]

Now how are you supposed to clean and dress that tire?

We have the ability to do multi-color printing. I could do self portraits on pads.

Just like normal. Its just the rubber is a different color.

It's a cool technology, just wouldn't want it on my car.

[toycar18]

LOL.... I'll take black walls.

Clean and simple!

This is pretty cool but I think its a bit too much.

[embolism]

there are many things that are just too much but people do them anyways...

I spent like 30 minutes on youtube yesterday with my mouth hanging open looking at people who put 22-40 inch plus rims on their cars...

if it floats your boat, more power to you...

As an amateur designer, I cannot think of any design that would look good on a tire, except maybe some nice looking typography. It might be hard to read when parked in your garage or when you're driving though, haha.

[C. Charles Hahn]

That's going to make cars look pretty darn stupid if you ask me.

I can't think of anything I would want printed on my tires... Then again I probably wouldn't have much room anyway. My winter tires are 205/50 17 (OEM size) and summer are 225/40 18. That doesn't leave much sidewall to print on.

[kronos]

I like it. Don't know what I would put on the sidewall though?!

[Matt]

That's cool but I think in most situations it'd just look plain ugly.

However this does give people the opportunity to have purple or blue sidewalled tyres at a low cost, say someone has a classic purple or pink Cadillac at a car show with pink interior, pink paint, pink wheels, now, pink tyre sidewalls too.
