I don't think there's any reason to abandon Kumho...every single tire manufacturer has had some sort of recall at some time or another. I remember when Hoosier recalled the XS03's for a similar reason. The V 710 is a brand new DOT race tire, and they had a few Delam on them. They probably had a single batch where something went wrong with the manufacturing. (Bad glue or whatever) Kumho decided to recall the whole bunch, and give whoever was affected a *free* set of tires, and a replacement set, for their troubles. They've done everything a good manufacturer should have done. And they make great tires. If you've got the bucks...fine...keep buying Hoosiers. But Kumho offers a lot more bang for the buck, especially to the weekend DE/Autocross warrior.

YMMV....
