Why Bridgestone, WHY?

[BusyBadger]

Seriously?

Bridgestone Printed tires at Geneva auto show

As if our eyes aren't subjected to enough poor taste on the roadways Bridgestone thought tires would be a great canvas. I can't wait for the zoetrope induced trances and subsequent crashes. Ugh.

[themadscientist]

I like it. I still have a set of scorchers stashed away.

[300ZXttZMAN]

So I guess they were thining: "how can we give our tires the same performance they have always had but make them cost the consumer even more..."

Glad I am a Nitto guy.. I just lost most of the respect that I had for Bridgestone.

Maybe I am just an old fasion 20 year old but IMHO tires are supposed to be black and round nothing else ever.

Yet some how I feel that they are going to sell the crap out of this "printed tire" disgrace.

While I may think that is stupid, i also hate raised white lettering, and whitewhalls. Look how popular those used to be. At one point you almost couldnt buy a car with black tires.

If they make a bunch of money off the tragicly hip/stupid. More power to them.

Exactly. Thats why I think they will actually do well off of it.. I can imagine the people with 24" "spinners" and such drooling for these kaleidoscope styled tires...

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Imagine that...people who care more about looks than outright performance. When did this happen? It's a unique idea...

[alms24sebring]

I agree it stupid. I can deal with the tires that smoke in colors that pro drifters use, actually thats pretty cool for show but I like the tire itself black. I dont even like white walls at all.

Bluh. Function over form. Think a good number of members would follow.

It's not like it's going to make it's way out onto most cars out there, so why complain about it?

It's a super premium service.

[Razi]

Haha, they're funny.
I like em.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I sure hope they stick to pavement better than my G019s.

[nissangirl74]

Is Dodge bringing back the Neon? I can see that group getting pretty stoked over these.

[flohtingPoint]

Looks like skateboard wheels.

[audtatious]

Aren't they purdy?

I agree with the above.

If anything it could make boring old standard black wide wall tires "cheaper"???

[TTkickedin]

This is nothing new:

[dasoupdude]

their focus groups garnered enough desire for these that bridgestone saw a profit in manufacturing the tires. you all think it's stupid, but really, who gives a f***? no one is forcing any of you to buy them and mount them on your cars.

[TTkickedin]

You know the reason why these tires being stupid is relevant? Because rice car.

[numbnuts240]

Because rice car.

you light absorbing container for cultivating plants.

[TTkickedin]
