So on the previous thread in regards to the best Autocross tire, someone mentioned they did approximately 90 runs on the V710s and then the next owner did 6 Track Days????

This was really suprising to hear. With all the people on here racing with the V710s... how long have yours lasted?

Haven't killed mine yet. Their great grip goes away at around 40-50 runs... but they last for a long while after that and go down to marginal to decent grip. :)

I have about 60 runs one one set and 45ish on another.

yeah, 60 - 70 good autox runs following a proper heat cycle, then they will last upwards of 80+ runs pretty easily, could vary based on setup, driving style, surface abrasion, etc.

interesting, this is much different than what i expected to hear about a set of slicks. thanks for the info

Well i have a brand new set of falkens that im excited to race through... but after i'm done with these, the V710s will probably be next.

the V710s will probably be next.

245/35?

my rim is 9" wide... so i'll probably go wider than 245.
Possibly 275/40/17

Then again this is so far away, and depends on so many different factors, thats it's still too early to say for sure.
