Since we have the deal on the delti tires I receive their spam as well. 
However today I noticed something weird:

*Simply Scented – The Aroma Tyres from Kumho*
Aromatherapy with treads: The ultra high performance tyres from Kumho's Ecsta
range release an aroma when warm. The secret of these scented tyres are
heat-resistant oils that release a pleasant lavender fragrance noticeable up to
ten metres away. These somewhat unusual tyres nevertheless feature everything
you would expect from a high performance tyre. The world’s first lavender
scented tyres are available in size 205/55 R 16 on the mytyres.co.uk online shop
– once again setting new trends in tyres and tuning.

WTF? 
Lavender scented tires?
I rather have them in oil scent.

I can just picture myself sitting in my car in a traffic jam on a hot summers day surrounded by cars with these tires.
I'm sure if this becomes common place, it will solve the traffic jam problem for good because standing in a traffic jam will either stink you out, or you'll simply die from lack of fresh air.

Imagine what this would do on a drift competition? Ruin the whole event?

Yeah but it could be the greatest excuse for street drifting:
COP) Sir, what do you think your doing?
HACHIDUDE) I thought it smelled bad on this industrial terrain so I'm just making sure it smells better...
