[DeTomaso] Tires?

[Jim Hendrickson]

Dick,

Have you had any problems with tearing chunks out of the tread on track
days? I know some of the SCCA guys have trouble with treaded tires chunking
on track. Or did you have them shaved to 4/32" or less tread depth?

I use Kumho Ecsta V700 with 235/40R17 on front and 335/35R17 on back.  
It is a soft tire, stick like glue, ride great, look great, have the 
right front to back bias, and are inexpensive.   However, as any R 
compound tire, they are not going to get good tread mileage and are not 
good, to say the least, in the rain.
