I think this tire *looks* awesome. It has the simple, mechanical, industrial, military look.
That kind of tire design seems to be disappearing as more and more tires look organic, ridiculous (interlocking bones? lucky charms cereal? flames?), or like a pattern of random rocks embedded in rubber. I like a tire that looks like a tire, not some hipster's tattoo sleeves!!

I wonder how well they work on wet pavement without siping.
