Yeah, but that's for drifting. You know, the ice dancing of auto racing.

maybe, but those tires have a soft sidewall.
Had them on my car when I first bought it...the whole thing would shimmy sideways when closing the door

Maybe the sideway shimmy wasn't the tires...

LAVENDER ?!?!?
If tires are going to be scented, they should be manly scents... musk, beer, sweat, baseball mitt, or burning rubber (on a tire...
).
Lavender.

i wonder if those tires are any good. It would be strange if a car was dusting everyone at the track and people kept smelling lavender while they were getting passed.

I can think of a few problems with beer-scented tires.

Oh, I can think of several times a week when it would come in handy if my car emanated an overpowering flowery scent. Especially after eating pork rinds.

Too much use of lavendar can cause breast growth in boys and men.
(So a doctor told a friend of a friend. . .this may be an urban myth, but even so. MEN! Back away from the lavendar NOW!)

Maybe these tires should be categorized as specialty tires-
If bowling ***** can be scented (and still quite functional) then why not make tires like that?
Hope it doesn't drive the cost up too high though.
How about some bacon scented tires?
