When it comes to smelling good we spent lots of dollars on perfumes. But also your car wants to smell good. And you can start at the tires with the new Ecsta DX Aroma, first scented tires. And they only cost $81.
Using a special mixing technology to blend the synthetic oils that provide the fragrant scent into the rubber compound, these heat-resistant oils are said to enhance the bonding of rubber chains and maximize the viscoelasticity of the rubber compound, which helps reduce braking distances on wet or dry roads. The Ecsta DX Aroma compound also features silica to improve all-weather performance and wet traction.
