So i gambled on the NEW Kumho V730...

For those not interesting in spending >$800 on Yokohamas that wear quickly: The Kumho may be a viable option. More details in the video / description. i plan to do a more in-depth review; this is a quick look with initial impressions.

Bump, here's the more detailed review after having tried them on two different cars at dry autocross, wet autocross, and dry time attack. Enjoy!
