Kumho Ecsta V720 for GEN IV ACR

[LA STIG]

#206973

My research (so far) has resulted in my learning the following.

First, the tire will not be available until 2016.

Second, the V720 is not related to the V710 (which is a shame because the 710 was amazing).

Third, the V720 is more closely related to the Excsta XS, which is not a bad thing but more comparable to an NT05, also not a bad thing, but neither is close to the V710.

Fourth, there is a V720 sold in Japan now but it has a different tread patternthan the U.S. version will have and is also a different compound.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I’m hoping to see more tires for the Gen IV ACR come to market.

Is their any rumor that Kumho will produce thier new tire for the GEN V ACR (Kumho Ecsta V720) in the sizes we need for our OEM wheels on the GEN IV ACR?

It would fill a nice void, now that Michelin is not producing the Sport Cups in our size.
