Go to the tire rack web sight and order them. They will ship when they arrive. They won't charge your credit card until they ship.

I've been trying to get these for 2 months. Its too bad 2 months later I read this on the web instead of being told by the salesman. I was told, "call back next week sometime", which I have been doing for 2 months to no avail.

Thanks for the post, no maybe I can get some by nationals!!!

I have a set of 215/40/16 V710s. I ordered them early in the year, figuring that there would be a rush.

I only have one event on them, but they seem like great tires. They seem faster than the 205/50/15 V700's I ran last year and early this year.

Now, was that a typo, or is kumho really going to make a 205/40/16 V710?

I think 205/40/16 is what I want for autox. I had called about a month and a half ago. There was no offer then to be put on a list??????

Kumho has not commited to producing that size. My comment of "not yet" means it make be a future choice, but no suppoting data yet

Why would you want to use a narrower tire? The 215 fits fine.
