Thumbs up Red Burnout

Check out this vid link from Automobile Magazine. A GTO and a new Kumho tire combine for lots of RED smoke. Blue and yellow are also available. Add some color to your smoky burnouts!

Good point, but I think that's just the "development" price -- the same tire in the non-colorized version (ECSTA MX) runs around $140. The colored versions are not yet listed on Kumho's website and I couldn't find them on TireRack's site either. So, they may not be ready for retail sale. Plus, according to Automobile, they are currently being produced only in 255/40YR-17. However, I'm sure we can count on the price coming down to not much more than the non-color versions and more sizes becomming available.

Probably... I first saw them in this months (I think) Car & Driver. They said you can get them at the tirerack for $2k/each. I'll have to check the mag again when I get home, I've been known to be wrong before...
