				Got my trade in from Kumho on my v710's great service!  Ran my victoracers one day at RA and they are coming apart just like the v710's did!  Is it me, or is something still wrong here? Take a look at this pic and let me know what you think. Sorry for the big pic, didn't know it wouldn't automatically resize. (IMG:http://69.73.156.222/victoracer.jpg) |

				I'm guessing that the reason that race tires do this is because they are not cured nearly as long as road tires.  Road tires are baked much longer (to make them harder), therefore the rubber sticks together much more.  However, because a race tire is so soft (small chunks tear more easily, resulting in increased traction), I would guess that they are MUCH more succeptable to the tread separating also.
