Default colored smoke tire...good or bad???

I love exclusives and recently looking for tires i came across KUMHO colored smoke tires...

I was wonderin how they perform... do they last if you dont abuse them(though that is no the point of them) Do they hook Do they leave colored marks

I could easily win back the money for them in a burnout contest around here held about every other weekend but are they good for street use as well

Please help

Seems like a good way to identify your car to the cops.

So what are saying....that if a cop sees you doing it once, he'll just say...eh, I'll let him go this time. Then, he sees you again, and thinks, well I let him go last time, I better pull him over this time. Please.

Nope. I'm saying that if you leave tire marks somewhere that are red and then are pulled over, it's going to be hard to say, "it wasn't me, it was some other guy with the red tires".

Please.

Being that the tire itself is still black id go ahead and guess the marks will still be black.

I think they were designed for use in drift/burnout comps, so I think they would not hold up as well as regular tires.

*Ecsta SPT Colored Smoke tires are for competition use only – not intended for public road use. Ecsta SPT Colored Smoke tires will leave a sticky residue on the vehicle''s underbody, suspension, wheelwells and the fenders during extended burnouts.*

It takes a gay person to know what gay things are..I'll say that.

I think to each their own. Let people do what they want to THEIR cars.
