Okay, so what I'd like to know, is has anyone else heard of this?
Is it real? Or is it someone who's a photoshop master?

I searched, and didn't find any info on zilvia about this, and i've seen several websites that claim this is the real deal, however, I noticed they all have these same few "press release" pix. Seems to me, that better tires, once these basic passenger-types have been around a while, for performance shouldn't be too far behind in R&D. This is a whole new way of thinking as far as how to best apply traction... i forsee progressive wheel/tires for maybe a stiffer inner track and softer outer maybe?

The new methods of applying this tech should be pretty self-evident to most... real or not, I remain optomistic :D blahblahblah u say? Fine. PIX!

Additionally, it seems that meshies will be making a styling comeback in a BIG way until 3rd party manufacturers come up with a way to change the styling w/o nullifying the design :)

Okay.... now lets discuss!
