When I saw you had bumped the thread, I hoped there would be pricing, but I'll settle for 'in production'.

Bridgestone Corp.’s Ecopia ologic tire, size 155/55R19, has a larger vertical diameter and increased air pressure to limit changes in the contact patch. Introduced as the Large and Narrow concept tire, it is now in production, the company reports.

What happened? The prototype has a diameter ~3.5x the width while the 'production tire is ~6.5x. and it looks like a 'cheater slick'. Among the claimed benefits are lower road noise and better anti-hydroplaning. With that [lack of] circumferential grooves?
