KU36's based on friends impressions/experiences - but thats pushing hard on the track, where KU31's were "rubbish" and thats the last time they'll buy them
check out some forums - i think they might be on special still.........
I have KU36's
So far so good... Well apart from being a little big for the wheel well... But thats my bad!
Call http://www.option1garage.com.au/ the KU36's are $215.
Just read that its $10 fitting on top. So $225/tyre

I'm running the KU19's, not quite as soft as the 36's so you will get a little more life out of them, still pretty grippy for a road tyre and great in the wet.
i bought the KU36 from option1. Only had them for a few hundred kms but so far they are very good.
Road noise is at least 50% quieter than the stock tyres. Went for a nebo run few days after I got the tyres and they held very well. My cars stock, so the suspension was too soft for the tyres.
tyre life, I expect them to wear pretty quick as they are soft. I might try the road performance tyre after this depending how they wear
From my experiences the KU36 offer a lot of cornering grip, but lack some grip during straight line acceleration.
Mine are 225's and I feel the stock 215's offered more grip in high RPM acceleration.
Maybe I have not bed them in properly but over the past 2 or 3 days I have found 2nd has started wheel spinning at around 5000rpm.
And I am way happier as well. Completed a 700km trip last weekend to "scuff them in" and couldnt be happier. Even happier cause I paid $150ea for them from ST Georges tyres online.
