AutoX tires for '06

Well, I had purchased a set of KUMHO V710s and just went through the headaches of trying to get America's Tire(one of our club sponsors) to mount them.

Here's my thread on that: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=66533

Anyway.. After talking with the Manager, he's looking to make it up to us. He went so far as to offer to get us a set of Hoosiers for the same cost as the V710s.

So.. I've been looking on Tire Rack and notice there's now a Hoosier A6 tire. Unfortunately, the Tire Rack info for the tire is the info for the A3S05, so I have no clue what the differences are between it and previous tires.

What are the opinions of the A6 vs. A3S05 vs. V710?

My previous set of tires for the GS MINI were Hoosier A3S03's and they were great.
I'm running a set of Hoosier 20x8 cantilevered slicks on my DM FIAT X1/9 and love them.

My main reasons for going with the KUMHOs were price and the evaluations from the national level drivers that they were the tire of choice.

What size are your V710's that they had a hard time mounting?
