Yes, a very interesting concept but I haven't heard anything about it for a while. I build rubber molds, but tire molds are a science all their own. It's a very specific niche that has so may trade secrets its darn near impossible to attempt to build one without hiring (stealing) a team to do it from someone else.

Yokohamas are lousy in the rain... Michelins are much better on my '88 M5... the difference is quite noticeable...
