new Kumho and new Toyo 140 tires, tire testers nightmare

http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda-talk/viewtopic.php?t=882

 

 

the Toyo Proxes R1R looks kinda interesting..., "and even 225/45/15", I sure hope some folks with more money and time than I have will share knowledge....  I was going to 195/50-15 RE-01R next year from 225/45-15 Hankook RS-2 this year, because the better compound seems to more than offset the lack of width.  I am loath to go from 15 to 16 because the gearing is perfect on the 15" rims.

Ken,

 What's the tire behind the Ecsta Street Tire?  Is that the new BFG R1?

 

 

assuming thats the kumho booth that would be a v710

So, did Falken and Bridgestone collaborate on that new Kumho design? ;-)

Hmm...interesting.  Looks like there could be some nice choices next year.

If that is the Kumho booth, and that is the v710 the grooves are down the middle of the tire.  Not off to the side it is now!

Unless they changed the mold of the 710, that tire is not a 710.

Well not v710 but maybe a new tire?  What ever the new tire might be or just a prototype.

With the grooves down the middle and the way that the shoulder looks it sure looks alot like the Hankook tire to me.

the groove looks like its in the middle because of the angle of the tire, if you look carefully you can tell that the side closest in the picture is smaller than the side farther away

Interesting. Was there any mention of expected pricepoints?

Any thoughts/knowledge if Kumho's new compound will be better than the RE01r? Any size advantage for either (specifically for the STS2 crowd, CRX/Miata/Civic guys..)
