I'll have to think... sh*t that's what I just put on for the next few mths while I wait for 2x Dunlop TTs to arrive. Have the TTs on the front and they grip really well, never slid out on the front. Even at the last cruise on the twists, I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now looking into getting Kumho KU31's for a change. Has anyone here experienced both of these?Which of these are better? What would you go for?

If you want better grip then the Kumho KU31 are better and still cheap. I can go through a set of achilles in a weekend. 275/30/19 $142 each Edited 22/01/12 03:53 PM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 13y 7m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 22/01/12 09:37 PM Share Posted 22/01/12 09:37 PM I'm using Nitto NT05's and am really surprised at how grippy they are. Took a corner quite a bit harder than I should have and nothing! Not even a hint of a problem except that I was caught out by the unexpected grip lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
