I've seen it all now ...scented tyres

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.

Why would you want tyres with scents? crazy idea!

kasper

i suppose they might go well on a pink vw beetle

The thing is, apparently the scent only gets released when you do a burnout ...but somehow I can't see how rosemary, orange blossom, lavender or jasmin would increase your street cred

People will be falling asleep after smelling those tyres, lavender is great to get you to the land of nod.

Does it repel or attract dogs to pee on those scented tyres i wonder?

I somehow doubt they will be using them on any of the cars on Top Gear .

so let me get this straight to get the smell out of your 2k tires you have to do a burnout.......

am i mad or this is a great business idea.....
to use the product you must destroy them .. hence buy more.....

but on a practical level as a customer.... why in hell would you want them

Boy racers are the perfect target market... no scents...
