First time on V710's
Ran an autox today and it was my first on my new V710's.
sweet jeebus.  money very well spent!  It wasn't with the group i normally run with but i was not too far off the fastest times. Will have to wait till spring to run with my usual group and see the difference. Have a nice long winter to learn about tire temps, reading wear, etc.

What was you running before that it made such a difference? Did you make any other changes to accept the new tires, camber, toe-in?

Dunlop SP5000's. Very happy with them as street tires.
No comparison though. None at all. For example i've never before actually bruised my leg getting thrown and bracing against the armrest. I've never before had to fight the steering wheel to stay on course in a turn; normally i'm fighting over/understeer. toe is close to but not quite zero. camber is maxed. looking at the tires post ax i suspect i could use a bit more neg. front camber but i'm not likely to do anything about it unless i get to the point where the car is pushing again.

Yes, I remember the leg bruises.
710's are a great tire. Try 24-26 psi before each run. KT
