The Kumho Ecsta V710 is a DOT-legal competition tire developed for drivers who want the highest level of performance for dry track conditions. Compared to Kumho's VictoRacer and Ecsta V700 tires, Ecsta V710 radials are designed to provide quicker "turn-in" response, as well as increased traction and cornering speeds. In addition to looking like pro-level racing tires, Ecsta V710 tires perform like them as well, trading longevity for performance. Achieving the best performance requires that fresh Ecsta V710 tires be used, as their performance level will drop off after a typical race weekend's use.

Hoosier R6 Road Racing Tires
The R6 from Hoosier Racing Tire is a D.O.T. rated Track & Competition tire developed for drivers who compete in road racing where responsiveness and high levels of grip in dry conditions is desirable. The R6 Radials are designed to provide performance advantages over previous R3S05 tires by rewarding drivers with faster, consistent lap times and extended wear due to the improved traction and handling. While the R6 Radials use the same successful tread compound as the R3S05 tires, it is molded onto a more rounded tread profile that extends the life of the shoulders and produces more consistent tread wear across the entire contact patch.
