Kumho has a tire out called MX-C, based on the MX, which when boiled or burned out produces a red smoke. It's specially made for drag racing and burning out.

Nice of them to think so highly about car shows and drag races to make them and their buyers look good. I think it's pure sick. The problem is Hyundai needs to come out with a rear wheel drive V8 Tiburon to sport these.

Yeah that's where they were advertised, I got that too. Nice catalog huh? $2,000 per tire, and only three sizes. Wow, someone's got to have a lot of money and want a lot of attention to be able to run these. But maybe since they're advertised now, they'll see how the public flocks to them and might come out with some more sizes and mainstream pricing. Scented? Sounds good if you don't want to smell burned rubber, but I'll bet it's just as poisonous. Cool idea, to try to please a crowd.

Here's the video... looks like candy!

LOL. And I thought doing burnouts on normal tires was a waste of money.
