Regarding the tires, is there much of a difference between the Kumho and Nitto when new? Which do you prefer?
Thanks.

Yes the NT-01 is a lot more durable and a little less grip. We usually get 50 heat cycles (10 days) from them before they cord.

The V710 is a faster tire by 2-3 seconds when new on most tracks. It is a lot more fragile and is really only good for 20 HC (4 days). When they go off, they go big.
