KUMHO Introduces World's First "Aroma Tire" For Select Passenger Vehicles

U.S. market will carry limited inventory of orange, lavender and jasmine scents

Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. — KUMHO Tire USA, announces the introduction of the world’s first fragrance automotive tire, the ECSTA DX. The project is the “fruition” of more than a year’s worth of research and development to deliver an alluring aroma tire that replaces the normal “black rubber” smell with heat-resistant oils in the scent of lavender, and in later versions, neroli (orange) or jasmine. Visitors to www.kumhotireusa.com can find the nearest dealer and TireRack.com will ship them for
installation.

wow, i seriously wonder what went on in the board meeting when they decided this was a good idea (not that i'm saying it isn't)...

kumho execs: hmm, well we could make tires that taste like donuts, or have fuzzy sidewalls, but those would only attract fat people and pimps...we need to break into the feminine tire buying market...

mmmmm smelly burnouts.......

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

My first thought was what race city'll smell like @ secret street if they started making smelly slicks

I've seen ads in some ricer mags from years ago with coloured tires. Kumho had some tires which would put out red smoke when burnt too.
