Jeff,

Tim here from Roebling last time! Wish I was going to roebling but I have no tires for the z06 or the z28, why? because I got a set of v710's and just sent them back today!

I hope you are getting those ecsta's shaved, cuz if not you are going to trash them for sure with 2 days at roebling. Those tires will chunk like crazy if not shaved. Lee the guy with them m3 tore up a brand new set in one day at roebling, and this is in a 2800 lb car.

I have done a lot of work on my camaro and this car is starting to get pretty mean! Hope to see you around soon!

I ran my v710's at cmp and after a day they started coming apart. You will see a straight line across the tread. THis line gradually gets deeper until the tread starts peeling off.

I am a bit crazier than most folk, but what I would do is run those v710's at roebling, and then send them back.

The tires come apart slowly, and you can easily see when it is happening. The T1 guys have run them and have had no blowouts. Anyway, you could get a free weekends worth of tires since you get a free replacement.

Tim
