At a local auto-x this weekend in Vancouver, Kuhmo (the sponsor) unveiled in canada for the first time (as far as i know) its color smoke tires.

Great for burn out comps... other than that, meh. I'd love to see the cost on those too, and just to burn them out, I guess you'd have to enjoy burning money to see them smoke.

I remember when they first announced them (and showed them on top gear).... pretty cool to have 2 different colours that mix into another colour...

by the way... I can't wait for someone to try the scented tires they have..
