I was flicking through the lastest RACQ ‘The Road Ahead Magazine’ and came across an interesting little article about a Korean tyre company producing scented tyres.

This world first ‘Aroma Technology’ enables tyres to emanate a lavender scent (with mint, iris and white musk accents) detectable up to 10 metres from the car.

Besides smelling so good, the lavender perfume has a stable molecular structure which is said to improve the tyres’ traction and braking capacity.

I’ve heard of smell-eating paint using nano technology, and now I find there’s sweet smelling car tyres. I wonder what they’ll think of next?

If you were to invent a new product using nano technology, what would it be? Self cleaning clothes perhaps?
