Reply With QuoteDamn!There goes any chance I had of being anywhere close to you guys for the rest of the season. I hate being beaten by a tire...
V710s are legal again!!!
Link to the announcement.
Hopefully Tire Rack will start shipping hte inventory they have this week, and I'll have my replacements before the S2000 event!

Damn!
Will the TireRack just send them to you or do you have to ask for them now? Reason I ask. I still have tread on the Victorracer. I would hope they would not sell my replacement tires to someone like (Kestrel :) Bet that will get I rise out of you). Just curious if you had talked to the Tirerack. I went through Discount Tire and the process so far has been handled very well.
But seriously I hope Kestrel and anyone else can get a set if they want them.
From a thread on the pointy board:

Not all sizes are available in the replacement tire at this time. The fastest way to get specific information about your order status is to contact our customer service department directly at 1-800-428-8355 ext# 360. Thye will be able to track down your replacement order and let you know when to expect the tires. Have your billing phone number and or customer number ready. They will need that information to track down you order information.

How can I be so thirsty this morning, When I drank so much last night??
There probably won't be any available to new buyers for awhile yet - last I saw said they didn't even have enough in country yet to cover all of the people who originally had them. Those people (like the General and I) come first, then Kumho's contract drivers, then you late-adoptin' general public types in the back of the line. :POriginally Posted by rx7gslse
To top it off, there weren't any applicable 16" sizes available before the ban, so I think you're SOL until next season anyway, rx7gslse.
On a side note, I called Tire Rack earlier this afternoon, and they estimated delivery by next Friday for my replacement set.

eh, I'm not going to head out and buy any right now anyway... I was just wanting to see what sizes they had offered. I kow they intro'ed with a limited subset with more to come, so I was just being curious if anyone had info..There probably won't be any available to new buyers for awhile yet - last I saw said they didn't even have enough in country yet to cover all of the people who originally had them.

I'll probably just stick with the V700s. They're sticky enough and serve well for dual duty autox/road course.. Somehow I suspect the 710s won't last as road course tires...
You obvisouly didn't see the pictures of my Ecsta V700s after last weekend at Mineral Wells...
Side note - my V710s showed up today! Now I've got to get them mounted and heat-cycled tomorrow morning so they'll be ready for Sunday.

I think my V700s are special or someting, but I got one of the earlier sets for the Rx7 (235/45-13) and I've gotten probabaly 20 autoX, two MSR events, and one long day at Hallett out of them with no issues at all really.. they're a lot greasier than when they started, but still have some tread left (rotation is good)
I have been pleased with them, I just figured I'd stick wit them... we'll see how these 16s do on teh MSM.
