[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 10503687, member: 28469"] Victos don't have a lot of tread to begin with, so I never shaved them. I never had a problem with them chunking at full tread, but others have. Ultimately it is your call. if the date codes are old, having them shaved may serve to get more of the fresh stuff to the surface. They have a very stiff side wall so the steering response is razor sharp compared with say V710's which have more grip, but have a rather compliant wall so as to be more progressive in its release. Your tire guy may curse you for making him mount the victos....again stiff side wall. I always liked how victos felt by comparison. I just couldn't bring myself to buy them when V710 were proven to be faster. In your case, Ecsta V700 and Victoracers may be your best choice. They are definitely faster (all else being equal) than the Toyo/Nitto triplets.. I would opt for the Victos over the Ecsta 700 as there is more contact patch, and the 700 always seemed to develop wierd wear patterns and you can't rotate them as they are directional. [/QUOTE]
