[Freddy Kruger]

Green would be interesting...

[hakhawk]

excellent for burnout comps, has anyone downloaded the vid from the kumho site? its not the gto but still worth a watch.

[Patrio7]

yeah ive seen the silvia one a while back though i heard they've only done blue and red.

i dont know if they are public availble so feel free to correct me but ive heard they were for drift comp relase only or something.

-edit-

what next? scents? :P mmm cinamon rummber :P

[vinnywelsh]

Hehehe, should make for interesting days out. i wonder if it still smells the same or if it has some sort of unique red chemical smell

[bakes_eb]

[STEALTHY™]

They don't, they still leave a black mark. the rubber that make sthe smoke red is only a few thin lines in the tread. Have a look at the Vid with the Import, the marks are still black.

[vinnywelsh]

I bet it wasnt hard for them to find volunteers to test these tyres durring the production.

[Bax]

I thought they were still special, drift meet type deals. Still leave the black marks aswell which is good.

[Benji]

yeah black mark along with a kool colour cant wait to get a set of them rippin up in the student car park on the last day lol

Something leads me to believe that they have already mastered the art of white smoke from tyres

I want a set that produces blue smoke. That would be awesome.

[vt2vygts]

hahah thats gold!!!!

[montey56]

thats sick i love it i want some, but i aint wanting to know how much they are gonna change for them.

[HoZy]

damn, bloody nice, i wonder if the Cop's commo's at summernats next year will have a red & blue one, so they make red/blue/purple smoke with the cop lights on, could be sweet lol

Cheers

thats mad!
wouldnt it be gr8 if it left a big red drift mark down the road!

[EGG]

Green or blue would be ****ING awesome....

red on one back tyre, blue on the other would be nuts as well

[Stretchomatic]

i reckon green and gold would be great on a aussie muscle car...patriotic or wat.

Your mate had a set of red ones??? Where did he get them from? Were they any more expensive than standard tyres?

[EDIT : www.kumho.com.au make no mention of those tyres at all, except for the video.]
