I need to buy track tires for my 16" Fuchs. I am currently running A032's on my 15" cookies, and have had good luck with them, but I really want to get the Fuchs on the car. I need 205/45-16's and the only thing that the Tire Rack rack lists for Comp tires in that size are Hoosier and Kumho Ecsta V700's. I don't want the Hoosiers cause I will put some limited street miles on the car. That leaves me w/ the Kumhos...they have received somewhat mixed reviews. Any experience w/ these tires? Any other suggestions?
Thanks BH |

I have a set of the Ecsta V700's too. They are not a bad choice at all if you want to be able to drive to the track and/or do occassional street driving. I find that they start to feel "greasy" after only 10-15 mins of lapping but overall they are a predictable and grippy tire. The price is definitely right. I never had the chunking or blistering probs some other folks have mentioned (earlier threads) but I think I would get them shaved to help reduce the squirmy feel. Under hard braking I swear I could feel the tread blocks moving around and/or rubber migration issues. It's a little freaky.
