What tyre choice

[Casey]

I have the Kumho V70a's 205/45/16 in a medium soft compound, great tyre, very sticky right from cold, perfect for hillclimbs and sprints, pretty quiet on the road too.

However being such a soft tyre don't expect them to last long, i'd go the medium hard next time for more tyre life.

Thanks Robbie - I'll check them out. How long is not long? Generally I'll be happy to get 15,000km out of them.

Alternatively, I can get the Precedas or the Toyo T1-Rs for about the same price. Which would be the better choice?

I had them on another set of rims for track days only and after 5 track days there pretty much shot, but one of those days was at Winton and consisted of 200km distance wise, which really took alot out of them.

On the street you should see 15000ks out of them if your frontend is in good condition and aligned correctly.

I don't have any expirence with the other tyres you listed so can't really comment on them other than that no one i know uses them for whatever reason.
