Kumho KU36

[hako]

Anyone have tyre hookups, specifically KU36s?

Tried the usual suspects NOR, however pretty much getting full retail quotes all over...

Chasing 4x 235/40 18.

Yeah westy does good deals well better then retail lol

option1 will be the cheapest for KU36's

I might be alone on this one but i actually found federal 595 ss's to be a better tyre than the ku36's and they also last a lot longer.

KU36's are shit when cold and even slightly wet but they wear out very quickly too.

Both friends who have bought a full set of these are never going to buy them ever again lol.

The only thing they are good for is probably circuit racing, they have a good sidewall.

I got my federals (245 40 /18) from tyres for less in adelaide for $150

i found the ku36's on my ute hopeless for grip once they got warm at barbegallo.

felt very slipperish.

KU36's are only good for one thing... Covering Pimples' 33 Racecar in chunks of rubber!
Can hook you up with good pricing on TOYO &/or Federal if you decide to go with something decent :D

I chose to go for 595RS-R's instead, similarly priced

I would be interested in good pricing on toyos in 265/35/18 if you can extend the offer :)

i recently got a pair of these new in 235 17 45's for $300 each fitted, is this closeish to what you were getting or do you know of cheaper ones? as i would be interested in a new pair for the front to rotate tyre wear.

im getting 4 in similar sizes, shipped from qld for just under $900
Probably cost me $50-$100 to get fitted and balanced when they arrive, so a little bit cheaper.

ku31's are better than 595ss IMO .. hell of a lot more expensive tho.. 595 rpm anyone??? "225/35R19 88YXL FEDERAL 595RPM $188.00each" quote from option1.. cheap ftw!!!
