Check out Kumho's page: http://kumhousa.com/V710.asp
Kumho wants those 710s back. But they'll give you a free set of 700s or
Victoracers. AND you get a free set of the new 710s when they figure out how
to make them to their standard. Such a deal! Two free sets -- one to run on
in the meantime, and one of the reallygoodones when they're available.
I think there are no exceptions to be made. But that 2-for-1 deal is a
helluva sweetener.
