Art Deco Firestone outlet in Ventura Ca, why doesn't anyone make buildings look this cool anymore?

A good review of tire company promotions and what to avoid

from http://www.tirevan.com/ which is looking to win you over win less expensive tires, serviced at you home or work, because a mobile tire installation doesn't have to pay rent on a brick store http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/tirevan-sell-mount-and-balance-set-of.html if you live near the Washington DC or Philiadelphia metro areas

interesting tire displays and tire aftermarket stuff at SEMA this year

 Interested people will have no problems learning the size of this tire... just read the tread

 these probably qualify as large rubber bands damn it. a 25 series tire on a 26 inch rim? That is ridiculous

 these don't look too big until you look a the guys in the background for reference... these are monster truck size tires

Pirelli Is Rolling Out The Intelligent "Cyber" Tyre

Pirelli has announced a further innovation in the ongoing quest to remove the driving from driving. Sensors have been stashed in tires already for the hasty implementation of TPMS, but Pirelli has taken it a step further, putting a sensor package on the tire carcass itself. One implementation of the "Cyber Tire" is the "Lean," which harnesses power from the vibrations of the vehicle and beams information including tire pressure, temperature, and load to the vehicle's computer.

Cyber Tire Lean is setting things rolling for the eventual trotting out of full-blown Cyber Tire, which will be built into the tire. The high tech rubber will be more sophisticated and capable of communicating directly with stability control and anti-lock brakes to improve the effectiveness of dynamic safety systems. Cyber Tire will also carry a three-axis accelerometer that will facilitate real-time calculations of friction coefficients, contact force, and load. Pirelli is most proud of the edge the Cyber Tire will give the nanny systems to catch and correct idiotic driving faster than ever before.

p.s. Pirelli tires are the best tires I have ever bought for my car.
