R6, V710 or R1
I have been running the Nitto NT01 since cording the outer edge of my Hoosier R6 after 5 track days( -1.7 camber 
). I went with the Nitto's because I was looking for something with a bit more longevity but now I'm thinking of heading back to the slicks since increasing the camber to -2.7. Has anyone ran the BFG R1's or Kumho V710 for track duty? I'm interested in your experiences concerning grip and wear. If you have compared these to the Hoosier R6's I would be interested in that as well. Thanks

v710 and r6's are very similar, sorta
r6 at temperature has a little more grip, maybe 1/2 second on a 1 to 1.5 mile course. khumos come in earlier and also can take a little more heat so they don't get greasy as soon and they squeak right before they let go. r6's seem to be pretty quiet and let go with little warning. and khumo v710 last longer than a R6 and khumos seem to grip all the way down to the belts, where r6 seems to loose stick after a few heat cyclesi haven't tried the new square sidewall v710, anyone here like those?
you want to win go R6 or if you want to win all the time get Michelin radial X slicks...2 seconds faster than any DOT slick
