Kumho KU36's

[Bowzer]

Just got a set of 255/40/ZR17 fitted on the rears $225 fitted and balance as for improved ride comfort, it is quite noticeable. The Z1's were worn out so it would be a bad comparison will have to wait and see

$225 is the new low price for 255/40/17. Its toooooo cheap for the grip it gives you around the track.

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"?

Yeah the KU36 is loud. Annoying sometimes but that's the compromise. The only bad thing about these tyres are the noise.

Ku36 sucks... dont like it. I'd prefer Re001 which has smoother steering.

[doosra]

How many km's would you say the Ku36's would last for normal street driving.... ? Also, I'm after 205/45/17. Do they come in this size and how much can I expect to pay?

[euromandeluxe]

^ that's pretty narrow, you stretching?
