I've had these for like 5 years....mounted them on some WRX wheels, and did 2 parade laps around DCTC, only to find that they rubbed on the trailing arm and spring perch in the rear. I got them used, was told they were only heat cycled a few times (although I suspect they were shaved before that). They have some funny wear on the sidewall from previous-mentioned rubbing. Probably not an issue. VictoRacers also come in Left and Rights, these are all 4 the same (don't remember which side). I was told to mount them so the inside and outside where correct, and to ignore the direction, and they'll be fine. Wal-mart refused to mount them (even as a carry-in) since they had so little tread.... Here's what they looked like when I got them: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=VictoRacer+V700 Located in Duluth. I will not have room to bring them with to Ojibwe/Cities next weekend.
