yeah, mike was pretty fast until the last 4-6 HC.
he drives those v710 on the street to track too.

I used to autox competitively and I used V710 so I could drive to the skidpad on them. Can't do that with Hoosier A6. V710 is a nice tire.

va122

How do you compare grip to an A6? I use A6's for TTs and Qualifying now. Also the A6 falls off after 4 laps of a 3.1 mi course. Will the V710 hold up for a 30 min sprint race more like an R6? I'm looking for comparable grip to an R6 but with longer life.

Folks in my area think A6 is slightly stickier. I've never tried A6. I hear different things about V710 on the track. I've only tried them once on the track but they were a couple years old with plenty of autox runs on them and they were slippery. Give them a shot. They are amazing when new.

Pressures on kuhmos need to be real low like below 32 hot. Ne higher then 35 they slide. Mikymu has them on- he loves them. Mike

I'm on my 3rd set of Hoosiers and I'm getting 25-30 HC's with no significant drop in grip and very even wear. I've got -3 rear and -3.5 front camber and I haven't had to flip the tires. Probably helps that most of the tracking is at Mosport, and the Glen which are not particularly hard on the tires. My problem is the spinning of the Hoosiers on the wheels. I've tried everything to eliminate or minimize the problem (aquanet, dry mount, balance wheels, 3 different types of wheels) and still a problem Anyone having the same problem with the Kuhmos ?

va122

cant hurt to give them a shot. I'll need tires soon, I only have 2 sets

mooty

any higher than 32, it slides.

mooty

v710 needs low camber.
but you also run hoohoo, high camber.
that's why i have V710 for sale.
i run big camber.

mooty

WOW. wow wow.
i get 10HC on hoohoo i am laughing like hyena. you got 25hc!

i must be lucky. my tires rarely spin on wheels.
and when they do, they dont rotate too much.
and i dont feel them out of balance.
but i am also know to be able to produce very good lap times with tires that are flat spotted. they bounce around, i just ignore them. steering wheel is like a hand massager, i just hang on tight.

Kuhmos will rotate on tire too but never used the remedie u mentioned. Never seems to be that noticeable on track but driving back steering wheel vibrates. Mike

And I'm surprised u get 25-30 hc's on hoosiers- care to share your technique? U must not drag your brakes like someone I know : ). Mike

va122

So do I. I'm at 3.5/3. Thanks for saving me some $.

996FLT6

Im at 3.2 and 3 on kuhmos. If lower camber guess it could last 50 hc's driving to/fro track : ). Mike
