The Kumhos stick better than the A032s. The A032s are rated for
more longevity (50 vs. 60-80) but those numbers are all so close
together it probably doesn't matter. Both the Kumnos and A032s
should outlast Hoosiers and G-Forces. The Hoosiers stick the best
but don't last very long at all. I used Kumhos on my 2800 lb.
RX-7 all the time (even on the street) and they lasted about 5000
miles with some autocrossing.
