I have used the ETSCA V700 historically and now have a set of V710's for next season. I notice that there is no directional arrow like the V700's. Does this mean I can swap them without reguard to direction or is it just one more thing to keep track of. Any knowledgable person let me know. Otherwise I will call Khumo Monday.

 

The sidewalls should say outside or inside. As long as the 'outside' is the same as the rim face you're good to go. A lot of r-compounds or even semi-r-compounds, although having a tread pattern, don't care which way the tread is facing just as long as outside is facing outside. Ex. my Nitto NT01 and the Falken Azenis215 (now discontinued).

 

The tire mounter got the assymetrical tread oriented correctly. I am asking about the lack of a rotation arrow on the sidewall like the V700 has.

Has anyone used these this year and can help?

I also have an e mail into Kuhmo.

 

The rotational direction of Kumho V710s doesn't matter. I will typically swap the rims in an "X" pattern during the weekend to maximize the life of the tires.

how much life is one typically getting out of there v710? i plan to buy atleast two sets for next season, but it would be amazing if i could through a season with 1. ive herad 100 runs is reasonable?

 

I have heard about 10 cycles or track days. I will see. I just completed my first track day and find 4 seconds faster with these over the v700's and there is more out there. Great bite and the heat distribution was good. It was a 60 degree day so hot days will be a better test.

 

i guess we have different uses. i'm looking more towards auto-x usage.
