Khumo came out with their tires that produced colored smoke when you spun the wheels.
OK
I can see the point in that. Looks cool, esp when combined with a good set of drivers.
But now this, I can see no use for. Stick a damned AirWick on your air vent and call it a day. Unless there is something to the merketing speak they have in here.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears

This goes along with "Make something idiot proof and they'll make a better idiot..." Someone somewhere will buy these... and hopefully they will be criticized properly!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I wish they made them in the right size to fit the miata. I would love to get a set of these.
The problem with them is the scent only lasts for about a year so you would need to replace them every year (maybe only having 2 would still smell as nice? and you would only need to replace every other year then)

Read: designed for those who think owning a luxury car is equivalent to having class.
I do like these, but I can't imagine ever having them for anything but a joke.

I once pulled onto the sidewalk in front of a movie theater and did burnout donuts until I had worn an oily black circle onto the concrete (I don't actually remember why I was so angry with them). But, I can see a need for tires that left bad-smelling fumes in their wake.snaab wrote:aww, come on you guys... I could go for some orange scented tires. Maybe it would overpower the smell of clutch/brakes that usually eminates from my car at a stand-still.
