I've heard these advertised on the radio. How retarded. Who smells their tires anyway? I really don't think Kumho's target audience of Accord driving women are going to be burning any rubber.

Well, if they do burn rubber at least it will be fragrant..:wet: lol.. BTW, Kumho does make some other pretty decent "manly" tires as well. :)

That is hilarious. Lets burn out, make more wear and tear on someone's Honda, just for the lovely pineapple smell. WTF?

Does anyone remember the cherry/apple/grape scented gas additive? Made your exhaust smell good? GREAT that is exactly what I want to smell.

LOL! Well, when racing and drifting, as much as I loved the smell of burnt rubber, this would be fun to have just for ****s . . .

I wouldn't mind having that gas stuff as well, only for events though, as long as it doesn't create any premature wear or uneven wear on my engine and components, I'm game!

I kind of like the smell of burning rubber...This will be sold as a novelty item only, perhaps the worst Idea i've ever heard. IT should be mandatory on all civics with shopping car wings...

The tires on my 325IS are Drift-scented. Every time I break it loose it smells like a D1 race.
