I find this _fascinating_, but since it is a wheel/tire all in one... not sure if it would work for a motorcycle, esp. a sport-style that leans over more. Or maybe it just needs a different printed structure. The part about replaceable treads though... awesome!

Fascinating, thanks for the link.
I worked in our additive manufacturing lab for a year, pretty fascinating technology.
