Kumo V700\'s for Drag Racing ??

Anyone ever used Kumo V700's for Drag Racing? They come in a 335/35-17 size. I'm wondering what they'd be like to use. I don't want to use my 5000 mile pilots.

If your talking about VOI drag racing then double check on their legality in the stock and mod1 class. I have asked on another thread that this be clarified but it has not been addressed yet.
Something else is to be announced: a deal with a tire manufacturer. http://vca1.viperclub.org/menus/index_forums_RT10GTS.htm

If you are running a 2nd set of wheels just run et streets or something similar, If you are running Kuhmos as an everyday tire with some drag racing, I have found that if they are warm, they hook pretty well.
Testing with warm tires (eg street driven for several miles) that i can launch at 4500 rpm and even with nitrous traction is very good.
However at the track the car sat in line so long at night that they got cold and i had poor traction. They spun at even a 2000 rpm launch. I would reccommend a line lock to heat them up back up in the burnout stage. But if you are going to do that they won't last long so go with the et streets.

I pulled a 1.67 60' time with Kumhos. You have to heat them up!
