Anyone know a reason for the rain tires? (testing ban, perhaps?) But I've noticed that open wheel cars on display tend to be wearing rain tires. I thought it might just be because they're more interesting looking than slicks, but I'm wondering if there is another reason.

They are demonstration tyres. The F1 rules allow a team to run two promotional events of up to 100km each and two demonstration events of up to 15km per season, using demonstration tyres, and it doesn't count as part of the test limit.
