Kumho Ecsta MX-C colored smoke tires and… herbal scented tires

Kumho's engineers must have inhaled tire smoke one too many times. We admit that tires spewing forth colored smoke from a burnout are kind of neat, but only if a set of the $1995 tires (that's $2K each!) is being melted on some other guy's car. But tires scented with the aromatic effusion of Lavender and Rosemary? C'mon. Eric has reported back that they smell like herbs that have been growing in a tire planter. Makes sense.

Það sem mig langar að vita er af hverju þeir eru að bothera með að gera mynstur í dekk sem eru hönnuð í þeim eina tilgangi með gúmmíeyðslu í huga

Er ég einn um það að þykja bleikreykjandi (eða rauðreykjandi) dekk bara alls ekki cool.

Þessi jakkaföt


Þessi bíll


og bleikur reykur er bara töff

Fer eftir bílnum.

Á rauðum M5 væri rauður reykur cool

Actually this is news.

Previously the tires were not going to be available for individual purchase, they were being made in limited quantities for Kumho sponsored Drift Teams.

Due to a SCCA Formula Drift rule change that requires a minimum production run of 2500 for tires to be eligible for competition, you know have these tires seeing commercial sale.

So, the tires are only out for homologation.
If you don't understand the need, then you don't understand drifting. It's a subjectively judged sport, so colored smoke would give you an edge. But once again, if you don't "get" that, you don't "get" drifting.

Held að þetta gæti nú verið svoldið svalt, bíð bara spentur eftir því að sjá hver mætir með þetta á burnout keppnina á næstu bíladögum!!!

Sú keppni er bara ekkert gaman
