Hey all,
Was flicking through a mag and spotted an add for these http://www.automobilemag.com/photo_g...0_pontiac_gto/ I think its awsome, but the price of close to $2000 per tyre sort of puts a dampener on things.. Red, blue, green, yellow, different scented tyres.. would make for an interesting burnout in a comp, or event.. I love it.. |

Would definately attract attention at a burnout or drag comp!
I wonder if you had the nasty smelling ones you could say your car goes like stink... |

I can remember seeing these on the news a few years ago. The cops in LA wanted to ban them because they feared that gangs would mark their territory with them and insight violence. It must be tough to be in a gang in LA. The cops won’t let you have any fun. :hihi:
Cheers, Danny

WOW! I have never seen them before. That looks awesome but a $2,000 each its a bit rich. You wouldn't want to do burn outs. I would chose blue.

At $2000 a pop i think i won't be doing any burn outs on them. But it's cool looking.
