No change from the last post, a small shipment was confirmed "on the water" 4/22. Add 6-7 weeks "best case" for transit time, port inspection, transfer to warehouse etc.

Fast way to spend money=racing.
To spend it really fast takes Hoosiers.
How fast do you want to go is in direct relationship to how much money you want to spend; just cause you spent it does not guarantee you know how to use it.
If you have old tires, heavy wheels, stock alignment, stock shocks you probably ain’t gonna win either

Is there a learning curve for learning to drive on these? I had an order but ?? till arrival. Was looking forward to trying em out. Never had R comps. But I did call up probably 15 shops for em and obviously no luck.
Also I may have read in the bmw forum that when youre learning to use em, the road race (harder compound) would do you better, since itll last longer and take more abuse. Any truth to that? Cause R6s are available and c50 Z214s also.
One more question, would a 40 sidewall be much worse than a 35 (on 245-18s)?

The Kumho 710s are very forgiving compared to some other tires, I will let the hoosiers users explain what happens if you under-inflate the tires. I started with the V700s (victorracers) but they don't make those in 18s. Going to a road race compound may not be necessary since the 710s do last long in autocross racing. If you did go road race compound you would have to learn again when you switched to the softer tires. If you don't have a lot of autocross experience, I would race a year on street tires, gain a lot of seat time and then move to race rubber. If you have experience, jump right in, you will love the increased traction that RACE RUBBER gives!

found a pic of us unloading the car at the ProParts Divisional event, the Golden Gate Bridge is in the background on the right
this is a big picture, low speed connections beware!
