Well the Yokohama Tire folk have found a new use for Orange Oil, other than killing termites!!!
Its a new tire formulation, incorporating Orange oil... well hell, you read about it yourself.
Sadly, the Yokohama website is not updated with specifics, yet....

I saw this somewhere a week or so ago. Unfortunately, didn't have them in the factory 17" spec. I'm sure more sizes will roll out in the future, so by the time I'm ready for tires, I'll give these some serious thought.
