This thread will assist your enquiry, from what I skimmed through they seem to be hard to get hold of in Europe / UK and range from £200 up to £1200 per tyre

red tyre smoke

Mad Cas · 28-09-2007, 12:28

Wanders on here had some for sale, dunno if he still got 'em...

cefiro_drifta · 28-09-2007, 12:54

im gonan get a big fucking barrel and fill it with water and lots of red dye and soak some tyres in it , hopefully it will soak in tot he tyre and not just the outside .... might work

cefiro_drifta · 28-09-2007, 13:01

Tomahawk (or someone) did coloured bike tyres but I don't know if they made coloured smoke or not. What they were great for was locating the nearest ditch.

**mittomatto** · 01-10-2007, 15:12

going back to the other thread, the tread/compound is the same as a KU15 tyre, which is a road tyre. I see no reason for them not to used. it does look cool

AlexF · 01-10-2007, 21:36

I asked my local Kumho dealer a while back if he could get these, he called me back after finding out and said yes. Prices were in the region of £250 if I remember rightly.

driftpromotion · 01-10-2007, 21:46

The KUMHO tyres are available but only on special request as they are not normally held on stock. Red, Blue and Yellow are available and for lady drifters also Lavender, Vanilla, neroli [orange] and jasmine perfumed variants. Prices are around Euro 400,- a piece for the red type (the most commonly used) and you have to sign a disclaimer that they will not be used on the street. (Although it is based on the street legal ECSTA tyre). Be warned, the smoke is great but what is not so great is the melted compound which bonds to alloy wheels and car bodywork like powdercoating. Very difficult to remove.

A Kumho dealer should be able to get them for you.

Yeah they stain alloys. Jason is running some of Mitto's old wheels that had red smokes on them. His alloys are now pink

drax · 04-10-2007, 15:48

Christ, I thought you had actually been pushed over the edge by Ali and she had persuaded you to paint them pink
