None of the tires listed above are currently approved for Group 1 in
VDCA. SVRA lists the Kumho V700 and the Yoko A032R. What tires have you
been using up to now? Have you considered any of the tires listed on our
website as approved tires? The most popular tire in Group 1 competition is
the Hoosier A70-TD.
If we (VDCA) see a significant number of competitors using the 032R or
the V700, we may accept those tires for no other reason than convenience to
the entrants who don't want to buy an extra set of tires.
