my last set of V700 victoracers were shaved and heat cycled.
anyone with direct experience for road racing regarding the necessity for these services? is it necessary to shave the tire when the car is less than 2000 lbs? I can see wanting to do it if you have a big powerful and heavy car like a vette or viper. |

everything you guys have experienced makes sense. the issue of heat buildup with the full tread is interesting.
track temps get super high here in the summer so it could be an issue. I will say that these kumho's so far ( shaved and cycled) last many times longer than any hoosier that I used to run. My experience with hoosiers was on heavier stock type 911's but I like the kumho's performance and longevity so far. |
