Last sunday we had our last race this year. One Spitfire had Kumho's on.
This tire was the only one, that became hot in the rain. Good grip either.
I am thinking about to change from my Yoko's to Kumho.
I have Yokos in size 205-55 and they fit perfect with a camber of -1,60 on
front and the beam axle at rear using 6" rims.
