Anyone know more about them? Illuminated Tyres A woman adjusts her stocking by the light of the new Goodyear illuminated tyres. The tyre is made from a single piece of synthetic rubber and is brightly lit by bulbs mounted inside the wheel rim. The Goodyear Tyre Company intend to produce the tyres in a variety of colours.

Never heard of em before, guessing that's a period add?? The 60's were fuelled on ideas that never amassed to anything.

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.

How can there be bulbs inside that tyre bright enough to make it glow like that. What about heat ? What about tyre mounting? How is it powered?
Is it April 1st ?

A cursory Google just throws up loads of copies of the same picture, with exactly the same text.
Nearest modern equivalent I could find was this:

You could get that effect using a new paint that's just been released, it glows mega bright, but just for half an hour or so. The vehicles and outfits in the new Tron film were painted with it.
