that has got to be one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I wonder if the tire is red?
maybe its ricey to some but I will definitely buy a set as soon as they make blue smoke.

 

Wow...


i guess this made it to every web board!!

I am team manager for Enjuku Racing. we had been working with Kumho since SEMA last year to make this a reality for our drift team. due to homologation rules for the Formula Drift series that we compete in the tires must be commercially available. they are currently available for sale from the Tirerack. size - 255/40-17 only Kumho MX-C browse by brand and size.

Warning...they are not cheap due to the massive cleanup required at the plant after production.

Warning...the dust will not like to come off of the paint!!! luckily our cars are red and this is not a problem. however our "bronze" MB Motoring wheels all look "copper" now becasue they have a permanant red tint to them.

if you have any other quesitons please let me know.

That's bad ass.

 

We have the tires available but they are priced at 1995.00 per tire. Anybody need a set of four?
