Hey Tim I didn't realize you were on here. I was hoping you guys would be back at Roebling but no tires makes it tough. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I got the Ecsta V700's yesterday and had them mounted today so I will be running on them this weekend. I did have them shaved because I was aware of their reputation for chunking if run at full tread depth. I probably should have gone with the Victoracers but thought I would give these a try since they are essentially a free set.

I had run three autocrosses on my V710's and the line or groove you're talking about was already highly visible. Even before the recall I was wondering what was up and was keeping an eye on it because it was getting more visible after each event. I'm definetly not as crazy as you because I didn't consider running on the 710's after they were recalled. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I did want to run them at an autocross this past Saturday but the club I run with followed the SCCA's lead and banned them. I ended up running on my very worn Victoracers but they were still better than going out on my street rubber.

Jason and I probably won't be back to Roebling until September but hopefully we'll see you guys then.
