Gallery: Sights from the 2022 SEMA Show

It’s showtime, baby! From Nov. 1-4, the 2022 SEMA Show was in full swing. Whether you walked the aisles of the Lower South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center or watched the show unfold from your computer screen, you know we came across a slew of souped-up vehicles–whether they’re low-riders or off-road rigs– that will make your jaw drop to the floor. Especially in the Global Tire Expo this year, manufacturers have also debuted a ton of new products or highlighted a few from their current product lines.

In addition to the custom rides, we were out and about attending Tire Industry Association, AAPEX and manufacturer events, where industry leaders were honored for their work and dedication to our beloved industry. You can find our coverage of all SEMA events here.

Take a look below at some of the sights and sounds we’ve seen as we’ve dove into this year’s Industry Eeek.

Connecting the Lower South Hall and Central Hall, Toyo Tire’s Treadpass showcased 28 unique vehicles this year, one of them featuring Toyo’s newest tire, the Open Country R/T Trail, on a Ford Bronco.
Sometimes, cool things do happen after dark. Leaving the Global tire Expo, this lifted pickup truck glowed with red lights in the wheel well and the wheels themselves.
