you consider 555R's in the rear and 555R2s up front? I say definately go with the drag radials in the rear

Those v700's have decent tread for rain, i've driven in plenty of heavy showers with no problems. But be CAREFULL and use commmon sense. They are perfect for high horsepower cars on the street, for the strip you would want slicks or something anyways. No sense in running hard coumpound on the street and risk losing control because of the lack of traction. A FD with 400+rwhp has to have a good compound in the rear. Did i mention the v700's have good tread life, granted you don't do a burnout in them everyday.

Drag radials hook up, but the sidewalls make the car handle like a marshmellow on the street. The 700's hook up just as good as the nitto drag radials.

damn it vosko, you sold me on those 712's and now they suck?! Well they seem fine for me but I have about 300 less horsepower than you

vosko

exactly.... they are great tires for under 300hp

V700s are great for my crx for autocross. . . . but it only has like 150hp. hehe, great tires, but don't expect them to last long at all on the street compared to the 712
