Can anyone give me a comparison of these two tires ? Especially dry traction for autox, but any other input would be appreciated, such as wear, etc.

I've heard good things about the Kumho's being "forgiving" and wearing well, but I haven't heard much about the Yoko's.

A032R's have slightly more grip but they also tend to wear faster and are alot more expensive to run on for a season. I'd stick with the V700's to be honest.

Just don't get the V710's...

If you want mega grip for somewhat A032R pricing then you can look into the Hoosier A3S04's

The Kumho's also have a bit more tread depth so they can get up to temp faster for the shorter runs you'll be seeing in autocross. Depending on the size, you can also check out the Avon Tech R tires. Very sticky, very good wear, and very good price point for an R compound tire.
