The V710's appear to be wider than other tires in the same 'size'. For instance, the 275/40/17 V710 is reported to be wider than other race tires in the same size.

I want to replace my 315/35/17 Victoracers with V710's when they get tired (no pun intended). I'm having some mild difficulty getting my rear end adjusted optimally to avoid tire rub on both sides. But if the V710 is substantially wider, I'm concerned it just won't fit.

Anyone know how much wider the V710 is than the Victoracer?

Here ya go,, try this out. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/SearchTires.jsp

They have pretty good specifications page, that should show you exactly what each tire's width is,,, on a 11 inch rim.

Edit,,,,, I just looked up the V710s. No dice,,, the tread width spec is N/A. Sorry bout that, wish I could have helped you. I reckon you could contact Kumho and ask them what the tread width would be on a 11 inch rim.??

I think that Kumho has fixed the problem and the V710 is back in production. Actually, I think Kumho should be commended on their quick action and how they handled the situation.

Yep, but Kumho redesigned the tire and SCCA lifted the suspension on them three months ago. I haven't read of any complaints about them since.

SCCA lifts ban on V710
