that car is fast. but i figured out some things i was doing wrong so i expect to continue to get faster. plus he is running 275s at all four corners, to my 245s so once again. i need more rubber.

FYI, Kumho is coming out with new sizes for the venerable V710, in addition to keeping the sizes they already have available on Tirerack. New sizes coming the next few months:

215/45R16
245/45R16
215/40R17
225/45R17 (already available on tirerack)
245/40R17
225/40R18
245/40R18
305/30R18
335/30R19

The V710 is IMHO a better overall autocross tire than the Hoosier A6 or Hankook Z214. The v710 lasts longer (over 100 runs) and is surprisingly good in the rain, even light to medium standing water.

yeah,... with the R-comps I'm still lifting the inside rear tire some, but not nearly as much.

Great pix! Looks to me like you can use some more camber in the rear.
