The tires were developed by Goodyear using Neothane, a translucent form of synthetic rubber, and contained internal lighting, which allowed them to glow.
Goodyear produced a new set of its light-up Neothene tires, with one catch: Because they're solid, they're super heavy -- which means the car can only be driven at slow speeds in a controlled environment.
Goodyear also showed a non-pneumatic tire/wheel structure called "DuraWeb". The design previously was used on mowers.
