Phil, thanks!
While I'm not on Kumhos any longer and Kumho seems to have lost interest in autocross R-compound tires, I'd be very curious about mounting procedures. I've ram through at lest 5-6 sets of 710s on my CSP Miata (about 2,200 lbs at the time, 215/13s). Always mounted them in the proper rotation direction and i do not flip my tires midway through lifecycle. I've had minor splice issue as you've described on one or two of the previous sets. My last set, the 2005 date coded tires that I got in 2009 from TR, spliced very quickly and in a major way that I have not seen before.
PS. While we are at it - is there any word on _anything_ new for autocross out there? A6s are great but the price keeps going up.
PPS. I think you should be more vocal about Toyo R1Rs here. They are _great_ tires for a 993 in my opinion.
