i had a couple or three FTDs on them.  they were better on my light car
because the heated faster than the victoracers and had pretty soft
sidewalls.  i use a set for street tires now.

I just  got off the phone with Kumho because I have not been
able to get the  305-30/18 tire I was running, and they told
me the V700 ECSTAs are  discontinued. No new inventory.
They are going to make only the VictoRacers  and V710s.
Because of this they will be making those latter two in
more  sizes, but the newer ones won't be ready till EOY.




Can't say I'm surprised. The ECSTA V700 never really caught on, as it
didn't 
have enough grip for autocross and didn't wear well (even shaved) in open  
track, given its low grip.
