Any luck mate??

not sure if you're talking to me bro but ive got ku-31s in 225/40r18 and theyre great in the dry, real progressive but not so hot in the wet

I've also got the 31's. They don't have the grip or feedback of the continentals. If you plan on using them for track and street, I'd suggest you keep looking. For the price they are good, I paid $100 a corner, and can't really fault them, but you turn up the heat, you quickly find the limit. At QR doing sprints, I lost 1sec per lap going from conti's to Kumho, and it felt it, lacking the feel and ability to balance on the car on/just beyond the limit. I'd buy them again, though would have a semi slick for track days.

Apparently the Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx TT's are available in that size and come fairly highly reccomended.
Otherwise you could get Dunlop Direzza DZ101 or the Federal 595.


In semi slicks there are the Federal 595RSR which look pretty good.
These should be available from Option1Garage.

Thanks lads! Will weigh it all up over the weekend. Unfortunately the rubber I had set my heart on are the Federal Evo 595's but they don't bring them in the country yet.

Will these be just for track use or for daily driving too?
For pure track use, the Toyo R888 is available in your size.

For the moment I would like an all rounder until I can sort out some 16's thanks Greg.

What about the Dunlop SP Sport Z1?

[VWindahouse]

WOW, we could have a winner!!! Now for the cost

Cheers!

Also checked the tyre selector on JaxQuickFit and they also list the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (normal and TT), Goodyear Eagle F1 (Directional 5 and GS-D3) and the Bridgestone Potenza (RE050A and Adrenaline RE001 and Adrenaline RE002)

Plus the Bob Jane tyre selector has the Bridgestone Potenza (RE050A and Adrenaline RE001), Michelin Pilot Sport, Pirelli PZero and Yokohama Advan Sport 103, S Drive and A Drive R1

Lots of choices

Hoyhoy.

Anthony, I'll put my two bobs worth in,,, there is NO 215/40/17 in semi slicks.
I use the Federals RS-R for the street & I know a lot using them for the track.
I paid $165.00 for the Feds in 205/50/16.
I done a few laps with 2 Feds & 2 Toyo's & I reckon that the Feds were equal to the Toyo's.

I've run the Dunlop Maxx TT, Bridgestone RE001, and currently the P Zero Nero in this size, and I can't wait to get back to the 001s. These Pirelli's are crap!

Difficult tyre for availability unfortunately.

Brilliant numbers you've squeezed out of the K03 there bud.
