Default Star Ultra Wide HP tires?

Coker's teasing a new tire they're going to reveal Wednesday. Both teaser posts feature these tires. Being a younger guy, I've never heard of them but would love to know more.

I've never seen them back in the day. May be a southern, regional tire that wasn't as popular in the Midwest ?

Not much of a white letter guy so they would, most likely, be on the inside, but the width and tread are interesting.
The Granada Gold Camaro jumped out at me. It sparked desire to get back on mine, now that winter is approaching.

It definitely seems to be an odd tire to reproduce. Unless they're trying to throw everyone off the trail. You'd think they'd go with Formula 1 Super Stocks or some other popular tire.

I'll be honest, I was rather disappointed. I was hoping it'd be a revival of a tire, not an expansion of something they already had.

I'm interested in the NR50-15's, but didn't see anything on their website yet.
