my apologies, the similarities are explained thus:-
"För tyngre bilar och för rally asfalt väg är det bättre att använda A och ev. balansera greppet med 1 blandning mjukare på minst belastade axel"

The Kumhos are brand new tyres, the maxies are re-treads. The Maxi tread pattern is nicked off the Pirelli rally moulded slick.
Kumho are pretty well regarded (Uldis has been known to use them, but I don't know which type) They are a control tyre for one of the major lesser formulae (like Int F3 or GP2) and are pitching for the F1 single control tyre for 2007 (last I heard)
They are not a budget option though, so won't be cheap for the ones Sanj has shown. Prolly priced between A048s and Dunlop's road-legal semi slicks (which are pricey)

Pretty sure Uldis is on the Ecsta V70A.
