Aromatic car tyres for times with the opposite sex

SEARCHING online for some new car tyres, Jon Chard came across the Kumho company. He was surprised to discover that choosing the correct fragrance of a tyre can be as important as issues like handling, ride, noise and economy. At least, that's what he thinks the product description (mytyres.co.uk - Details: Kumho KH 31 205/55 R16 91W) is telling him, though he isn't entirely sure:
"The Korean ultra-high performance tyre manufacturer Kumho presented with the scent tyres another sensational new development.
The Kumho KH 31 is in the four fragrances orange blossom, rosemary, lavender and jasmine.
The tyres are not well known to smell is one thing that is not only with a car and thicknesses much hp under the hood can specify, is the other thing.
How about times with the opposite sex instead of roses, with beguiling smells of jasmine or orange on points.
Let simply Kumho KH 31 and assemble a balance of fresh scent."
