Kumho only made a limited run of smoke tires in 2006 and then
decided to quit making them. Up until the last couple years there
were plenty of tires sitting in warehouses and deals could be found.
Then J.C. Whitney bought up the remaining stock and tripled the prices.
I still watch Ebay and might find a couple sets per year. Also try searching
Craigslist.
I run 255/70 x17 most of the time and that is the only size where
they offered Blue and Yellow. All other sizes were strictly Red (Pink).
Last time I checked J.C. Whitney wanted nearly $400 each and I might
be crazy but I ain't paying $800 for a set of tires I can demolish in a day.
Not sure what I'm gonna do when my stockpile runs out.
