[s-cars] Kumho 712's vs. Bridgestone RE 730?

[Lee Levitt]

Shawn,

I had a set of the 712s on 17" wheels for a while...they give great grip in
the turns...I did a number of autocrosses with them.

They are, however, heavy and stiff tires, and their ride quality is subpar
compared to many other tires.

Do yourself a favor and get separate wheels/tires for everyday use and track
use. It's too easy to flatspot or otherwise destroy a good everyday tire.
Don't ask me how I know :(
