Hi Guys,

They are fine for a cheap tyre, if you don't expect them to handle like a performance tyre, you will be happy.

What would you recommend then.

I needed new tyres too and wanted to try KU-36's but could not find them in stock. Ended up getting Toyo's and am reasonably happy with them. Mind you the KU36's are 215/45/R16 but ive been told the extra 10mm makes SFA difference and fits fine if you can find them!

Goodyear auto centre has 25% off at the moment for 4 tyres. I'm getting some eagle f1's on the weekend.
I have Kuhmo KU-31s on my car now but they developed an annoying loud whine at about 20,000 k's. I hear KU-36's may have the same issue.

I'm tracking my car on saturday with the 31's. I'll report back on monday with lap times and feel compared to the Conti's. In saying that, they aren't recommended as a track tyre, Option1 had advised they'll overheat, but will drive in the same manner as I have with other street tyres on the track to minimise variables.

Seangti - is Qld Raceway this w'end a Polo event or a general event you are happening to attend?

General event, participating in the saturday sprints. I'm usually the solo VW. Non competitive, timed, race against the clock style of track day. If interested, it's worth coming out for a look if you're not quite convinced you want to partipate. Otherwise sign up and give it a run.
