Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (J28S)
This is discouraging. Check out the specs for this particular size. It says the tire was designed for a rim width of 7.0-8.5 inches, which is much wider than the 6.0 of the ITR's http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsad.gif
The 225/50/15 OTOH is designed for a rim width down to 6.0 inches. Wonder why there's such a difference? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...del=Ecsta+V700 225/45/15 out of stock until July 15th. $120 each. |
Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (typer_801)
i've noticed that tires w/ taller sidewalls will fit onto narrower wheels. I guess the shorter sidewall doesn't like to be "squeezed" onto a narrow wheel.
yoshi - who's disappointed that 225/45 may not fit stock size wheelshttp://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsad.gif |
Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (yoshi234)
Acctually I'm a little worried. The Victoracer was so excellent, and every time a manufacturer has "improved" their R-compounds lately they are much worse for slalom and better for track use.

Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (yoshi234)
If the 225/45/15 doesn't fit then it will be interesting to see many itr autoxers hoarding the remaining 225/50/15s.

Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (J28S)
The hoosier 225/45/15 fits on a 15x6 rim, I'm sure the new kumho will too.

Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (lundgren)
Yes, the current Hoosier's fit, but after about 6 runs you need a new pair of fronts http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emwink.gif Not worth the extra performance IMO when they wear out that quick.

Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (typer_801)
I'm sure it will fit, but will it be the optimum width for the particular tire? Running 225/45/15 on a 6" width rim will make the tire loose some of the contact patch. The effective contact patch might be even smaller than if u use 205 on a 6" width rim. Not only that but to get the correct tire pressure will be impossible to. I used to run 225/50/15 Kumho V700 on a 7" width rim. And it is almost impossible to get correct tire pressure. This is verified with tyre pyrometer. Actually overcooked a pair of front tire in one of the race. now I'm running with 8" width rim and it's better.
I recommends to talk to fellow racers, prefferably more experienced one and ask of his/her experience. |
Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (Reid)
From what I understand, they are not phasing out the Victoracers. At least that is the story roght now.

Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (J28S)
from the very little i know..
the other V700 have been selling in europe and asia for some time now.. 2 years or so .. go check it out at kumho's website they do'nt have the victoracer there though.. wonder if this "new" tires will be better for most applications .. |
Re: New Kumho ECSTA V700 (JinMTVT)
they are still special order only from tirerack, who doesn't actually have any yet...they told me they had an "unofficial" release date of 7/15 or so...
I ordered some a few weeks ago.... dw |
