Kumho tires ????????

I just got a set of victoracers for my track car . How do you like them ? and what tire psi do you run in them ?
I had BFG R1's on before and I will miss them. Are the Kumho's the same as the BFG's or better ?

I really like the victoracers. They have lasted me 1.5 auto cross seasons and will likely last that much more. They are very sticky tires. Unlike hoosiers they "talk" to ya a little before they break loose.

I just switched from street tires to a set of hoosiers I picked up cheap (used) and will be running the Kuhmos when these are gone...

Here is an excellet writeup on them from a guy I run with.

I had the Kumho Victoracers and liked them, a bit much for the steet at the time. moved to Nitto 555R's
liked them alot too. very good in the rain.
I've now got Toyo RA1's and will be trying them out this spring. I would of got the 555R's again, but could not find them in the new size I wanted.
