When driving my SUV through picturesque mountain towns, I don't spare a thought for my carbon footprint or noxious emissions. Oh no. My pressing concern is the scent I leave behind me as I complete tyre spin after tyre spin, practicing my handbrake turns in the narrow lanes.
Now I need worry no longer, as America's Kumho Tires have invented scented tyres, in a variety of odours. Initially only available in lavender, neroli and jasmine are due to follow soon. How can your life possibly be complete until you have a full set plus spare? [/sarcasm]

Kumho is a Korean company.
Oops! The source I used for the piece called them an American company. That'll teach me not to verify...
