Kuhmo Ecsta V710 recalled
 

I don't remember anybody talking about using Kuhmos this year but just in case:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/kumho/kumho_710.html

Makes me wish I *had* bought Kumhos ;)

Wow.... as they say "Kuhmo, way to go!"

So, if you got a set of the new V710s, they're going to immediately replace them w/ shaved & heat cycled V700's or Victos, *and* give you a new set of version 2.0 V710's when they come out?! That's awesome customer service!

Anyone wanna sell me a set of used V710s?! :lol:

I thought you didn't believe in buying used tires!!!! :lol: :lol:

I'm all for it when they get replaced imediately by TWO sets of new ones from the factory! :lol:

Sorry Scott, we can only accept your first answer. No free tires for you... :lol: :lol:

:lol:

hey thanks for the post....i just but 712 on my car two weeks ago...too bad i got them from big O...they better give me some deal like that....they always say they are competitive with tire rack....i will go see today...thanks again for the notice.

It's not a TireRack thing, it's because the Kumho victoracer 710s are defective. Unless you bought the R compounds, Big O isn't going to do anything.

yea im dumb...i wish the v712s, but i got supra 712s.....which are pretty much crap compared to the v712....i got all excited and didnt look at the model good....oh well...it was wishfull thinking though.....

You can't really run any of the V tires (V700, V700 Victoracers, V710) on the street. They're R-compound competition tires... you'd get about 2000 miles out of 'em and spin if you ever happen to run through a puddle.

The Supra 712's are good tires... I used to have them on my 18" SubZeros, but when it came time for street tires for my P1's I went with the Falken ST115's because the 712's were a little too agressive and noisy for me... if I want that I'll just toss the Azenis on and go tear around.

712s suck donkey snowballs

Skip them and go straight for the MX's I say

They work the same in the wet/snow, have about the same stiffness of sidewall, but the MX is infinitly stickier and actually amazingly longer lasting.

PWN3D

245/45WR17 Ecsta MX: $127 / tire

245/45WR17 Supra 712: $90 / tire

That $150 saved could be spent on something else if you don't care that much about which street tire you're using.

245/45? Hehe, you're funny. :P

There is more than a $150 diffence in terms of quality between those two. I mean, the 712's are just suckage, total waste of money.

They work just fine for tooling around town, and seem to last a long time.

That's funny... I remember beating you at a Reno AutoX on my 18's w/ 712's. :P :lol:

Steve got served :lol:

If he serves sperry back, does that mean....it's ON!!

Are you being served?
