What are the characteristics of Khumo 710's?
I'm used to Goodyear GSCS DOT track tires...they require more to warm them up than Hoosier's. Hoosier's fall off quickly when used up.
How do the Ecsta 710's work?

I have used the 710s extensively, as well as GY and Hoosier R compound tires. The 710s last for a long time, but their traction starts to fall of afte 4 to 6 heat cycles. You can use for a veeeery loooong time, but their grip is not competitive with newer tires.
I use the new 710s for autoX, then relegate them to track day use where I just drive for fun, not competitively.
On the track, I think both GY and Hoosier have better initial grip (first 2-3 heat cycles), but then fall off considerably faster than the Kumhos.
Hope this helps...
