Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

I know Discount Tire carries Kumho tires, they might be able to order those if you really want them. I think those might look cool on a red, black, or white car but not any other color (unless you don't plan on burning out that is).

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

I'm not sure, but I hear they are very expensive. Not worth all the extra money in my opinion.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

im fairly sure that those tires are just prototypes right now, they aren't in production yet. if there is enough of a demand for them im sure kumho will put them into production.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

Kumho tires are junk...even if they smoke different colors. Its a ploy to divert the poor quality of their tires...if you want good tires that last and hook then buy michelin and get your moneys worth.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

Pretty cool vid. I did something pretty cool like that once in my truck. I did a breakstand on the road and one of my tires was on the yellow line and it smoked green.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

A gimmick to get people to spend more $. High profit margin I'm sure.

Re: Kumho Ecsta MX-C tires

I will say though, If they looked like normal tires and the "ink" didn't wear off from normal driving and time. that would be pretty cool.

I mean if you didn't have to pretty much smoke em out the first time you use them that would be pretty cool. colored smoke on demand.
