Goodyear is rolling out (pun!) its latest version of the "multi-zone" tire this weekend, after it debuted to rave, well, tepid, well, non-negative reviews at Atlanta. Here's some features of the new tire:

--Allows drivers to get up to 5% better gas mileage, saving them about 0.001 gallons per race.
--Will last up to 80 laps at maximum stress levels, or a full season for start-and-park teams.
--Design and appearance continues the long-standing tradition of racing tires looking nothing like regular street tires.
--New Armor-Shield technology makes them impervious to criticism from Tony Stewart.
--No, the chemicals used to make the tires can NOT be turned into meth, Jeremy.
--Has a refreshing minty taste.
--Still won't work in the rain.
