V700 Ecsta update

[Marsh]

Well I've done a few dry events on the Ecstas now. I'm getting to like them more. They still feel squidgy and I'm having trouble adapting to them, but they grip really well. What's more I took some temperatures yesterday and I was well into the operating temps after two (close together) fun runs. The track had 4 fast left hand sweepers. I reached 170 deg F on the outside right with 160 on the middle and inside, with 165 deg in the inside of the front left, 150 middle and 140 outside. The rears were consistent 130 across the tread. They also appear to be wearing well. Although the rears picked up a lot garbage, I would normally think this was marbles from the oval we use, but the rubber is too melted in, so it must be from my own tires. It looks very strange.

The front is on the left, the rear is on the right. (right side tires)


But the good news is that the tires don't seem to need anymore camber, I just need to learn how to drive them.

Try Talon Tire. That's who I ordered from and he didn't seem to have much trouble getting them (this was March or April).
