How do the kuhmo's go? and wat style of tyre is it..Ku31?

[qik1]

I use kumho ku36's 275/18's. Will always spin in first but they track nicely & are good in the wet. Havent had a good chance to give them a good hiding but so far im happy. If you want good traction go to federal 595rs-r. R spec tyre but the compramise is longevity & wet weather usability. Unreal when you get some heat into them will be goin back to them when the kumho's are knackered.

A better priced tyre that jp has nearly done an 11 flat was the maxxis ma-z1. I run these on the fronts & they are nice & quiet & they feel alot better under hard driving than my federals 595 did that I had on the fronts previously.

Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT in 275/30/20 On rears which work well for about $550each, and 225/35/20 on front.

Nexen 3000's on the bum, they stick a tad better than average for a cheap tyre... wierd in a way, they let go in a straight line, but make it harder to drift out.

I have the federal 595 in 265/35/18 front and rear, I think they're terrific and good value for money. Mind you I might be tempted to try the Kuhmo's next time.

It depends on how much you want to spend and whether you want traction, wet weather handling, or long tyre life.

Howsee

I used to have 245/40/18 maxxis MA-Z1 and they where great price & performance, They stopped making them apparently. I just got the new Maxxis MA-Z4s in the same size and for $250 each. They hold up great, only traction loss I get in the dry with them is 1-2 chirp.

Toyo Proxy 4's 265x30x19

Have not dyno'd but last outing at track went 12.9 @ 116mph with fuel surge problems.

Mines t56 manual sedan.

Run best of 2.3 60ft

Great tyre, use to turn tyres 1st coming on boost on the street before I upgraded to a Plazmaman Plenum,

Once the plenum went on 1st and 2nd turn hard with 3rd grabbing.

Still good enough to put 6-7 lengths on a VE GTS though by the end of 3rd.

When I was at lower power level approx 300rwkw the proxy's lasted around 25 000k

More than 3x longer than the crap nangkans.

Comparisment at the 300rwkw between the 2 where.

Nang's would turn tyres hard on boost 1st & 2nd with 3rd on some road surfaces.

The Toyo's would slightly turn on boost on most surfaces but no traction issues 2nd.

if I dumped the clutch the nangs would leave black lines in first and 2nd for like 100m

the proxy's I would be lucky to leave rubber for 30m. (300rwkw)

best place to purchase them is ebay seller St George Tyres (Something like that)

Tyrepower sell them for 465 each

that ebay seller sells them for $660 pair off memory.

I had just fitted the maxis MA-Z1's on the front and they do feel as good as my previous tyres

Yokahama Advans (One of the best rated steer tyres if not the best).

Put a bit of water on the road and you'll wish you had $250 specials on instead.
