Default FS: Brand new in wraps KUMHO V710 tires 245/40/18 and 315/35/18

I have an extra set of Kumho V710 track tires for sale. These are the correct 997GT3 sizes with the same diameters as OEM which ensures there will be no issues with ABS or PSM. Fronts are 245/40/18 (25.7") and rears are 315/35/18 (26.4"). They are pictured below mounted on 18x9x12. They run wide. As far as grip, these fall between a full slick and a Hoosier. They are a slick with two thin grooves to make them DOT legal. They are brand new unopened set in the wrappers from the last Kumho batch. $1400 plus $80 for shipping.

V710 is basically the same grip as a Hoosier A6, both are autocross compound. Stickier than a R6, not as sticky as A7. What's the date code on these?

I would not recommend them for autocross as they take a couple of laps to come up to temperature. Usually reach optimum grip by the 3rd lap. These have very little grip on the outlap and would be horrible for autocross. I haven't run the A7 but found them much better than R6. Comparing to Hoosiers is a moot point as Hoosier does not make the proper diameters for the 997GT3, only the short tires which I'm not a fan of. These along with NT01s are the only 18" DOTs that you can get in the proper 997GT3 diameters. Got these last summer from the last Kumho batch from Korea. Date is not listed on the wrapper, only on the tire. I'm guessing this year or last year as these were on backorder and came direct from Kumho. Here's the link to the tires:
