I'd rock em. I'd take them in orange or red please. They remind me of some orange sorbet/ice cream. Or those Flintstones Push-Ups. They look delicious 
last thing I need is for my car to inspire hunger in me

There were some tires back in the late 90s early 2000s that had colored stripes down the tread.
I think these orange tires might just be for display, to better show the tread pattern.
There is a tire company selling tires that are impregnated with a smell for drifting, burnout purposes. It's in a recent issue of Modified -- the one with Ro_Ja Boy's car on the cover, in fact.

I think carbon black is an essential ingredient for consumer tires which must have something to do with wear. I remember in the 60's seeing some blue BFG's (I think) but obviously didn't catch on.
Was it the wear factor or was it the color that didn't make these tires a hit?
