These are the rear tires.
You gotta be kidding, if that's tread then how can any water escape from hydroplaning? Not that I mind...
This is the tire tag fastened to the tread.
Notice the little rubber doo-hicky's extending out from the tread.
It's a shame they're not intended for Highway use.
In this close up photo of the tread and sidewall, you can literally see the sticky texture of the rubber. But when touched, even at a cold temp, it feels kind of like tape.
This rubber is awesome.
