Check out the design of this electric car. Wonder what kind of range improvement you could get with the motorcycle width tires this thing is using. You could always build a car using tire sets that belong on brass era cars.

That would be really great for those building period style sports cars. It would look a lot better then running on modern wide and low profile rubber.
I wouldn't say no to using them myself as being car tyres they would have a better life then motorbike tyres.

Thats not a bad idea. Ive seen a few fairly aerodynamic brass era sports cars. Only problem I see is getting tires for them. I know Coker sells tires for them, but not sure if they are radials or bias ply only.
