.. I looked long and hard at the Kuhmo's, but *the* characteristic that turned me away, was the reported too soft side wall. I'd reccomend that Kuhmo up the price f the 712's and add some stiffening to the sidewalls and they will have the best tire in the bargain range.
My goal with the A520's is to put a capable yet inexpensive tire on the car, specifically for track use. I could easily pick a better tire, but then I'm getting into the +$100 per tire price range. I picked up the 4 A520's including shiping for $360. Comparable to the 712's in price.
I will likely put the Pilot Sports on for a few laps on Putanm, at the least, just to bludgeon myself with their superiority over the Yoko's. I'm not out to beat anyone on the track, just to have fun. I think I will be able to push as hard as *I* want and not exceed the limits of either tire.
