I don't know if this is a repost, but I that that some of you might find this interesting. Kumho is unveiling its new tire at SEMA this year. It is the world first 385/15 tire!!! Here's the link to pics and more information:

holy crap....I need those!

also, no chance in hell you can fit that on an e92 w/ out the most ridiculous widebody kit.

Wonder if these can be driven on the regular US streets...... I'd probably puncture 8-9 of these a day going over potholes in BOS.

VMRWheels · 11-04-2008, 08:59 PM

Man...22" wheel. That's huge.

Year's_End · 11-04-2008, 09:20 PM

remmib · 11-05-2008, 10:25 AM

I didn't even know there was a 20 series tire, and now they're making 15 series.

no worries...it will be hard to find a pothole big enough to swallow those monsters. they'll just glide over haha

Is there any room for air? Might as well just use rubber bands...

Good luck finding a shop that has a mounting machine even capable of holding one of those things. Impressive nonetheless.

I think the tire actually comes in a paint can so you can just paint it onto the rim
