So I bailed on the V710s in favor of Hankook Z214s C51s. Discount Tire really kicked Tire Racks butt this go round. Even with paying sales tax and mandatory environment fees, DT matched TR and can have them to me in less than 2 weeks.

Why the C51 compound and not the C71 compound? The C71 is supposed to be equivalent to the A6 or V710 where the C51 is harder.

James Wilson seems to believe they aren't that much difference, but the C51 would last longer. In the heat of July or August, I could see going with them. I think I'm going to pick up a set R6's to run the locals on in the summer. - AB

They said the c71 is really soft and that a camber challenged stock car would get them greasy really quickly. Jay Storm seemed to agree.
