The V710s and the later Hoosiers do surprisingly well at GGF, despite
their lack of tread. They probably get a little more chewed up at GGF
than other sites, but really no more than any other tire.
I would say that they are at least the equal of full-tread Victoracers
at GGF. I remember the event where I showed up with my brand-new
Victoracers and ran against Glenn and Ruben who had used V710s.
Before the runs, I was smug. After the runs, I was frustrated at my
inability to capitalize on my "advantage".
I've never liked the ECSTAs at GGF.
