Agreed. The V710's are just that great of a tire but their performance tapers off sharply after 50-60 runs and you'll be lucky to get 80 runs out of a set.

One thing to note, is that Kumho makes two different V700 tires. The Victoracer V700 and the Ecsta V700. From what I've been told and seen from people who've switched between the two, the Ecsta V700's have an edge over the Victoracers (Ecsta V700's are only available for 17" & 18" wheels).
