Don't even bother. They're bottom of the line in traction at the TRACK.

Kumho V710s are the top dog over hoosiers right now.
The Ecsta V700s are pieces of ****, but usable.
The Victoracer V700s are ok. I like them a lot for the track, not so much for autox.

well they came out with a better compound for autocross in the A032R, it has an "S" designation (thy gave the original A032R compound an "H" designation), but everything I have seen is that is still not up to speed with the newest Kumho or Hoosier tires
