Maybe if they could also make them in a more "manly" scent, like "fried chicken," "sweat," "oil," or "burning rubber."

I don't think that the tire smoke smelling different is the objective. Just that as the tire warms up from driving it will release the scent. This is evidenced by the statement that they're marketing them to female drivers, who on average are less likely to be doing burnouts every other stop light than their male counterparts.

lol. what a waste of money. i'd say silverseven's right but it'd be cool if your burnout's could smell like stuff. i'd get weed smelling tires that way when the cops ask me why my car smells like weed, i can just be like "it's my tires officer, go ahead and smell them. i dont smoke weed, i swear. these were just really cheap"
