Anyone experienced Kumho 712 on track? Looking for some summer tires and occational track tires..

The old re040 were bad performaning but held together up until they were totally bold. Wires only showed when the tires were like slicks.

Being the cheap *** hole that I am, I just run my tires until they look like F3000 tires. And with the bridgestone I got away with that.


But look at my kumho. To me these tires looks like they have a few more weeks if not months of life in them, because I see thread.

Looks like the tire decide to break up before all the thread were used up.

Maybe the limit of wear is just different on the bridgestone, and these kumho weren't actually designed to be used up to this level.

But you can see from the 1st pic, the tire looked like it can still last for a while more.
