Colored tire smoke...

Look what Kumho just came up with...

It'll be pretty cool for drift events but I fear every ricer on the road is going to be trying to light their tires up a stoplight once word gets out.

At some point, the long, bony arm of the law would make it illegal..if you had a car in front of you shredding tyres with that colour of smoke it would hinder visibility, the pigs would get angry if you did it in front of them. But yes, the video is impressive.

Im thinking they need smell-o-smoke. Just imagine a whiff of a nice, ripe strawberry.

Cool at a show, but just plain silly for anything else.

Smoking your tires and even squealing them on the streets is illegal and will get you a nasty ticket in most states regardless of the color of the smoke...
