For those of you who used both brands on the race track -
which ones did you like best? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge24.gif)
Sorry - I'm not interested in what auto crossers think.

I know Hoosiers are stickier, but they wear out to fast for me.
I am open to other suggestions (available in 225-50-16 & 245-45-16).

I think it depends on what you want out of 'em. If you're looking to win a race, the Kumho might be the better bet. If you're looking to have a set of track tires that will stretch the racing budget further, the Toyo's. They won't be -quite- as fast as the Kumho, but they will last longer.

Oh, and it's the Victoracer you're talking about right? The Ecsta 700 is lame. The 710 is the killer tire, but won't last as long.

The nice thing about the victoracer is that you can get 'em from tirerack... no so for the toyo...
