Anyone tried the new Indy 500 V2 tires yet? I am getting a set installed on my Dekagrams next weekend to replace my ancient BFG Comp 2s

I nearly bought a set a few weeks back, but decided to try the Kumho Ecsta Sport. From what I could tell, the V2 makes some small improvements on the original tire in pretty much every aspect, which is a good thing. I'm sure you'll enjoy them quite a lot.

I did find it odd they only come with 8/32nd tread new. Surely this is for reduced tread squirm and better response, but it's gotta hurt treadlife a bit given that everyone else in that ~300TW space is 9/32nd or more.

what size tire did you put on it? I have 16x8 dekagrams and was going to get the 205/50/16 version

I went with 205/45/16 as that’s the same size I had already and I’m lowered so I don’t want to deal with potential rubbing
