Victoracers + Ecstas = ???
I just corded my front Victoracers.
My two problems are not enough negative camber, and the fact that the Victos are asymmetric. They wear fast on the outside, and I can't rotate them on the rims.
I was wondering about putting Ecstas on the front, since they are only directional, so they ought to last twice as long.
I'm going to get a more agressive alignment as well, but talking to another guy running a 944 and Victos, all the negative camber you can get from the stock suspension is still not really enough.
Any advice would be appreciated ... along with two used Victos

I have rotated Victoracers on the rims, with no ill effects. To my knowledge, this is not approved by Kumho. YMMV. And of course, once any tire is corded anywhere, it is unusable.

When I used to run Victoracers, I flipped them on the rim and ran them backward for more wear without a problem. A Kumho engineer I e-mailed indicated it was OK, though I would lose a little grip.
