Ideally want to run 18x9.5 and 275's. Can I do this w/ -2 degrees camber? Thanks!

 

Can you elaborate on this please?
How do they work? Can you compare them to Toyo's?
How long before they fall off?
Thanx

Alignment: -3.2f/-3.0r 1/16th toe-out front & 0 toe rear
Fenders Rolled or Cut: Heavy cutting front / heavy cutting rear

Advice: Don't sacrifice rear grip to balance the car and get rid of understeer , find a way to make the front stick.

 

The Kuhmo V710, just like the Hoosier A6 and the Hankook z214, is a soft DOT approved R-compound.

They are geared towards autocross or someone looking for a fast single lap at the road course.

They usually heat up very quick(compared to a full slick or a harder road racing spec tire) and also easy to overheat.

They operate at around 200 degrees and get greassy past 250, so hotlapping on them around a road course is out of the question.

Compared to a similar sized harder road racing tire like the Toyo R888 for example,
they offer a lot more grip and it's not unusual to improve over a second off your time per 60' lap.

 

Madmax - heavy cutting of front and rear..pics please!

 

There you go

 

wow - that rear fender did get cut up good. Thanks for the pics!
