IMHO this is the right way to handle a problem. Much better than sweeping it under the rug like firestone did.

Consumers will be given the choice of a free replacement of the ECSTA V710 with either the ECSTA V700 or Victoracer. They will also be provided a free set of the modified ECSTA V710 upon its arrival.

They already have my business. They also now have my loyalty (as long as they continue to make a competitive tire). I wish more business would stand behind their product like this.

Bummer; I was planning on giving them a try with my next set. Hopfully the redesign will be worth waiting for. Good PR move though.

YIKES! I was about to order a set....

After my sidewall split incident with a Victoracer V700 a few years ago, I was already leery of Kumhos despite the awesome bang-for-buck factor.

Now...I think I'll just splurge for Hoosiers until they get this stuff sorted out.
