Next up, develop a way to smell the tires while driving inside your car.]]>Jan 7th 2007 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/Jan 7th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/
This product was probably made for the "drifting" community. Drifting consists of "sliding" into corners with your Rear Wheel Drive car. Meanwhile the rear tire is burning up like crazy thus producing copious amounts of burnt rubber. The smell is usually foul (if any of you have had experience with it).

This is where the Kumho Ecsta DX Aroma comes into play. Perhaps it was to address the concerns of the people on the stands.

Make love, not war ya'll.

To quote the press release:
"The tire is targeted at female consumers who drive such sedans as the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Subaru Outback, Chrysler Sebring and Ford Taurus."

No I think what we're talking about here is a 17 year old kid who really has no idea. Wal-Mart does not sell performance parts, quit thinking your cool because you've cleaned out the entire 'performance' aisle and mounted it all on your '97 civic hatchback.

Kumho makes some great tires, but who the hell was the product focus group for this? Korean schoolgirls ages 6-12? Why don't they dye the compound purple while they're at it? ]]>Jan 7th 2007 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/07/kumho-ecsta-dx-aroma-car-tires-roll-out-with-lavender-scent-don/Jan 8th 2007 10:37AM
