I'm not sure there's any technique secrets to share. I think the tracks that I frequent definitely help, and I have a really good setup. The wear is remarkably even across the tires even without flipping. I'm reasonably smooth, but also doesn't hurt that I'm slow.....

Definitely curious why my tire spinning on the rims is so severe. The vibration is so bad that I can't see out any mirrors and it has frightened more than one passenger. I'm worried that I'm going to shake something loose on the car

nice tire, very sticky but lasts 1/3 of what v700 tire lasts - not victoracer, one with v70a compound.

i would choose toyo ra1 (or r888) against v710 tires for track but for auto-x v710 are great, they are very similar to A6 grip wise but will last longer.
camber wise I am now at -3f, -2.5r on v700 kumhos.

^ u got on track video of yourself? Me thinks u stab your brakes at the last second. With the awesome grip of the hoo hoos tires would rotate on the rim if u stab. Mike

Yes they are..

Oh boy you are a BAD influence even for people overseas

No videos of me on track, but I can say I'm definitely not a brake stabber. Definitely agree on the grip of the Hoosiers and I did consider the movement of the tires under braking theory, so I've marked the tires to check for movement, and it shows the fronts are rotating from braking (about 15 deg rotation) and the rears are rotating from torque (90+ deg rotation). Results confirmed from 3 different tests. Most of the movement seems to happen during the first session after mounting but they continue to move a little with each session. Sometimes gets to a point where they are in balance for a while but then it deteriorates. Major PITA. Talked to my race shop today and they say to mount but not balance then drive for one session (unbalanced) - then balance after the initial movement has occured. Works if you have multiple sets of wheels tires and don't mind changing wheels frequently. Fortunately I'm a wheel junkie (5 sets) so I guess I'm going to try that strategy next time. Can't be worse...

r u sure?
v710 is not anywhere close to A6 when both are new.

i have a lot of hoosiers, khumos in my garage.
i also have your address.
just say when....

^Liar- u stab your brakes- just kidding : ). Neway grip levels so high on hoo hoos - I just wonder how the true racer guys alleviate the rotation esp on full slicks. I never had rotation on rcomps(well at least didnt notice it ie steering wheel vibration) but when I switched to Kuhmo's everything was fine at the track til I headed back home- my steering wheel was vibrating and to some degree my mirrors were vibrating but nothing that affected driving- just annoying. Looking forward to what u find out wih your R&D : ). Mike

Why would u choose toyo's over kuhmo's on track other then longevity. Laptimewise kuhmo's win hands down. Mike

I use toyo s for their longevity not their lap times. If Kuhmo can give me R6 (Or within one sec) lap time's with the live of a toyo I'm sold.

.5 sec difference between hoo hoo and khumo at thill. I did 42 hc's and that's driving to/fro track. If tow should be more. Mike
