FWIW, I think this is a bit nuts, but it's an interesting idea...

No way would I want to use one of them personally -- can you imagine going fast and then suddenly remember what surface you're running on? Or if it starts to rain when you're already out riding? Yikes.

Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

Maybe if I lived somewhere that it never rained I might see the attraction to this, but I'd rather just shell out for a cheap tyre than ride on something that becomes an instant death trap as soon as I ride over a damp bit of tarmac!0

could always sprinkle some course sand into the top layer to act as a bit of a grip/ thread, as the silicone goes "off" the sand will be impregnated into silicone
id rather just buy a new tyre though....Keeping it classy since '830 -
