Yes, Patent Pending on tires (kumho)...
Currently, market price for these tires is $2,000 per tire. Don't expect to see them on the street corner soon, although they may appear in some rap videos next year (the new bling-bling). Red and Blue smoking tires on an escalade rocking 24's? Hell yeah.

hehe...my imagination getting away from me again.

Well, what do you guys think? Colored smoke in drifting?
one word, SICK! I always thought about colored smoke after the one tire company came out with the colored stripes that would leave color on the road after a burnout.

I thought ROBS introductions was just fine!, way to make it as far as you did Rob, From the secod Tandem with you two, Rob you were spot on, right on that guys ass move for me.... ha the first round been dirfferent you would have gone forward.


Oh Man watching you two on the second day drive out together that was awesome!You both did so well, loved the tire smoke, like tay said I thought Tarzan was going to loose balance and fall into the crowed for jumping up as fast as h did when he saw that.



i tried to get on formula d tv, for being one of the girl drifters in the crowed,
but they wouldnt let me on because I only had your t-shirt to wear, and they wanted a drifting t shirt... I was like this is, this is a team thats out here today, and they said they wanted a shirt with the word drifting on it or some initial d crap no biggie, I was just trying to get on tv with your shirts on, =( I failed lol

i think the tires kick ass, and the fact Kumho picked our boys from Florida to give the gift too, but i think i was a little disappointed. i guess i exspected something more. when Rob said their was something in the works i was thinking about rob and matt and all the stupid shit we used to do on saturday nights. i was thinking it was gonna be some outrageous skit or rob being pregnant and giving birth to a drift baby or some crazy shit like that. i guess i was exspecting a little more creativity from the 2 kings of gimiks, and iggie's.
