is any body using these if so what do think of them

cheers

 

Used them on my clio track car, make sure you get the pressures right or you'll fuck em quick. But you can get them back.

I found them difficult to get just right though and took a bit of messing about, once I had them sorted they were very good in my opinion.

Wore well too.

 

same here on pressures, good tyre when get them set up, we found that we where having to put around 32psi in them cold, they sat around 40 when hot, any lower than that and we had side wall probs,

 

I use them, but as above with the pressures!

 

hello mate try a website for reviews tyres ..japanese use them for drift ..i am not sure .good for track day not rain

 

Expensive but stick like glue used them on our track car it's like night and day

 

Mike rainbird uses khumo v70a's and rates them

Cheaper for you too

 

how much pressure?! that's madness. when we were rallying the 205 we had to run them as they were the tarmac control tyre. Yokohama were there on the day, their bloke used to look at the surface, and temperature and recommend a cold and warm temp. it was normally around the 25psi mark iirc. That was on 14 inch tyres with a fair bit of side wall.

 

Does seem high, I run these and r888, 29-30 when hot

 

this is on a m3, we tried lots of diff pressures, when we dropped down to 25psi cold and driver was not happy at all, then went back up to low 30,s 15mins later he comes back in with a grin saying loads better, checked hot @42 psi, we where surprised too?
never got on with v70,s went off too quick, and its not nice buying a new tyre with 3mm tread..

 

I always aimed for 32 hot... compared to the full slicks it was more difficult to get right cold and also they behaved badly if the pressure wasn't just so where as the slicks where much better if you didn't quite get it right.

 

what would you run your slicks at? fwd or rwd?

 

Had these on a couple of Lotus Exige & an Elise..........they were very good on a warm, dry road that's for sure.

Not so good in the wet !
