Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, better known as ASMR, is a rare experience best described as a sound that produces a tingling-like sensation on the skin that most often starts on the head and moves down the back. It has similarities to auditory-tactile synesthesia (the link between hearing and touch). If you’re still a little unsure what ASMR is, it’s similar to the feeling of satisfaction from popping bubble wrap. Nobody needs to do it, but everyone likes it and wants to do it.
We here at Driving Line love tires (because most of the vehicles we love need them) and we thought it would be interesting to make an ASMR video that centers around tires and all the sounds associated with them. Imagine new tires squeaking on a smooth shop floor.
ASMR videos have become a phenomenon recently, and while we don’t really get most of the ones out there, we totally understand how people can sit for hours listening to detailed audio of one of the things they love. If you love cars as much as we do, you need to put on your headphones and turn up the volume. This is the tire shop like you’ve never heard it.
