I'm looking for some Kumho Ecsta v70 in medium compound, sizes 175/60/13 and 235/45/13 2 of each or maybe 4 of each.

Failing that can anyone recommend a tyre with the same grip in that size??

Caterham R400. Im looking for a dry tyre as i use the CR500 in the wet.

True about the heat cycles, around 6-7 and there gone. However my mate ran them all year on his pheonix R1 untill they started to de-laminate,(if thats the right terminology), and his times were still on the pace.

I ran Toyo R888's on a fury blade last year and thought they were reasonable, only problem is they are limited in sizes with no 235/45/13's. A few of my mates had the Kumho's and reckon they were the business although it took a lot to get the heat into them initially. Suppose it depends on the weight of the car and the power.

Dunlop dont seem to make them in those sizes. The 235/45/13 is the pain.
