Kumho KU36's

[kevt88]

Anyone running Ku36's on their S? If so, how does it go on street & track?

value for money but not for performance.

What about re001's? for 210 each.. abit more expensive then i last remember paying lol..

[vyets]

re001 aint got nothing on the ku36 :P

They awsome for street, track they are lacking abit but are good enough unless you want to get serious.
Don't last very long but. But they are real cheap

Well my rears are gone, there are literally no lines in the tyres bwuahah.. But i was tossing up RE050's or RE001's or my old S1 EVO's.. but S1's are like 475 each.. and dont last very long at all..

hmm well for 600 for a set of 16inch's. i think its worth trying for my coming track day.

I'm running RE050a on all 4 corners and when they run out soon, I'm gonna get RE11.

I have considered the RE001s but I've been told the RE050a is still a better tyre albiet a while lot expensive. So, not being one who wants to downgrade (I believe that if you replace something, it's got to be the same grade or better), I'm saving up for a set of pads and a set of RE11. Can't wait.

RE001's are awesome, and last for quite a while (depending on what you put them through ofcourse lol)

[F20C]

re001 are good, but they not in the same class as the ku36 the re01R or re11 however is

hi, there
1) i have used Firenza Sumitomo before and they were fairly loud. How's road noise on the KU 36 compared to this?
2) does KU36 have some sort of "rim protection"?
