KUMHO debuts red smoke drifting tyre



KUMHO TYRES has notched up another first: a tyre that produces red smoke. A special version of KUMHO's ECSTA MX ultra high performance road and track day tyre, known as the ECSTA MX-C made its public debut with Enjuku Racing at the Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta in the US in May.

The ECSTA MX-C was initially developed at the KUMHO American Technical Center in Akron, Ohio where the company's scientists found the right mix of chemicals to make red smoke and, following successful testing, a limited number of the new tyres were made.

Now the MX-C looks set to take the UK drifting scene by storm after UK drifting champion Brett Castle and drifting guru Phil Morrison demonstrated the tyres to the press and customers at Rockingham Motor Speedway in July.

Hey! They're working on blue, . .

The ECSTA MX-C was developed at the KUMHO Technical Center in Akron, OH. “At a product meeting here late last summer, several people were talking about the sport of drifting,” said Guy Edington, manager of the Technical Center. “While watching a drifting video, someone opined that it would be cool if the tire smoke coming off the cars was colored.”

From there the idea blossomed, and Jim Palombo, KUMHO’s senior product chemist, and Gary Bradnick, lead lab technologist, set about looking for a way to make colored smoke. They developed the right mix of chemicals and now have a patent pending for their colorful compound (they’ve also developed a compound that produces blue tire smoke). Following successful testing, KUMHO produced a limited number of the tires.

“We don’t intend to sell the ECSTA MX-C to the general public,” said KUMHO brand director Rick Brennan. “We built them to demonstrate our forward thinking, technical capabilities and ability to respond quickly to the market. Like our race-winning ALMS tire, the MX-C was developed in a very short time—about six months. And like our 26-inch and 28-inch light truck tires, the MX-C gets attention by charting new territory that no other tire company even thought about entering.”

Makes you wonder if breathing that crap in will make you grow a tail, a 3rd eye and have a hunch back.
