Why isn't anybody talking about the Kumho V720? 355s and 295s for the new viper with 200tw stamped on the side.


Agree ---- The R7 and the A7 have almost if not the same durometer reading -- and my Yokohama A001 Softs read the same as the A7's.... We do toss them when the number goes up 4 points... but that's a different issue.
