    Go the KU 39's. Best bang for buck in my opinion. I've got them on my Polo and wet roads are like dry roads with them on. I like them so much I just bought a set on EBay 225/45/17 for the Bora for $170 each delivered.

    From what I have read the KU36 is very good, but not great in the wet which is why I opted for the KU31, seems like a better all rounder. I don't track my car so it's road use only, depends on your preference I guess.

    Have not read anything about the KU39.

    Best quote I can get for the KU31's is $155 each, fitted.

    On my golf I had KU-31 's (235/45 R17) and loved them. Quiet, ample grip in wet and dry. I then put on a pair of Dunlop sp sport 2000's and they were rubbish! On the polo now I have stock Dunlop SP Sport Maxx and they noisy too, decent grip but not confidence inspiringly so.

    Got some KU-31's on the front and they are great. Paid $150 each, cheapest I could find. Will def be putting them on all round when I need 2 more.

    Glad you like them, if you slide around too much they seem to loose grip, but for general suburban driving and twisties at 90%, great for the money.

    I found a few PSI makes a big difference, I'm now rolling on 33 in the front and around 30 in the rear. Good for comfort and still good grip. Best grip I found was closer to 40PSI.
