We never were going to get rid of that size, TireRack just took it off their site for some unknown reason.

Don't worry, we have those and some other new sizes coming out soon.

I'm thinking 325/35r18 would make a great rear tire for a C6. And maybe a 295/30r18 for the front.

What I find confusing is the availability of the "new" V710 versus the old one. Are all sizes being replaced with the new version, or are just the new sizes being produced with the new construction/compound?

when did they start making the new construction/compound? anyone have a good comparison between old vs new in terms of wear and handling?

Hhmmm... are the new V710's going to have the same rounded shoulder... or will we need to change our suspension settings?

Also, any changes in tire pressure recomendations?

Thanks,

Trumper

Everything I know (which isn't much) is in this thread:

http://sccaforums.com/forums/permali...ad.aspx#271878

Edit: and I noticed the other day that TR lists a 305/30/18 V710 now. Kinda pricey @$338/tire.
