Just wondering if anyone has tried this setup as an alternative for C6Z06 wheel tire for 200TW class? This may be an alternative until the 305/19 Re71R are available.

I have a set of 255/40/17 fronts that I will run with the305/30/19 rears in mid-May, I'll let you know how they do...

In the Miata/small tire world people are suddenly raving about the V720...I'm hearing people thinking something must have changed recently.

Looking forward to it.

Looks like this may get pushed to Mid-June

Nobody else has had any experience with these?

Sunday Evening I'll know more...

From what I could tell, i think running the Kumho V720 in 265/18 front and 305/19 rear would be better than the RS3.

Unfortunately had to run the Rival S today, long story. I'll have the Kumhos on for sure at the Hotchkis event in Fontana 2nd weekend in June. Sorry about the delay.

JLZ06TR

where you able to try these out?

Looks like June 11/12 in Fontana will be the first chance. They are mounted and ready, I'm running 255/40/17 on 9.5 in front and 305/30/19 on 11 in rear.

Ok so I ran them today at the unseasonably cool El Toro. I run in CAM-S because of wheel width but my C5 is only built up for A-Street, stock with a Strano front bar and Koni yellows. Previously I had a 315/30/18 Rival S on 18x10.5 square set up, so the Kumhos were giving up 6 sizes in the front with the 255/40/17 on a 9.5 front and a 305/30/19 rear. In my and my co-drivers opinion, the car felt slightly faster, much better balance, going from fairly tail happy with the Rivals to a little understeer on the Kumhos. You can tell the Kumho sidewalls are stiffer. The Kumho surprised us with its ability to put power down again I think slightly better. I think the 265/35/18 Kumho on a 18x10.5 on the front would be even better. I'm going to run them again next weekend in 100 degree heat at Fontana so I'll know more then...
