John: its the actual tyre being noisy and not from lost of traction etc. Generally better gripping tyres are noiser than lesser gripping ones. And thats why I'm checking whats the best compromise between them.

Yep, I know. Was making a remark about how quiet/unnoticeable the tyres were, until they squealed. Other than that, we didn't hear tyre noise. Had the windows down too for the most part.

he actually knows that but he was commenting on it.. generally the 595 are quiet depending...

is it a 300kw beetle?

I see what you did there :P

Thats the exact reason why I'm asking. I cbf about the noise on mine as the exhaust will be louder but on her beetle its different. The CR KAI I sold to my friend had some ling longs on them (cheapass) and I didnt know they're noisy until he put them on his cefiro. Its very annoying to hear thats for sure, sounds like bee buzzing.

Yeah come for a drive in mine. My car is very quiet when not getting up it so you would notice the tyre noise if there was anything noticeable. There just isnt. They are just a very competent tyre that do everything you ask of them.

Yea will do. You guys still doing the wash or what?

John: Got ERD to check the loading and speed stuff for 535.

Dave: I called him first but was disappointed with the price he quoted for KU31 (and other models too). Maybe he can offer a better price if you rock up but I highly doubt. The price difference between him and option1 is more than 100bucks for all 4 fitted and aligned.

No one can beat Option1 if they still want to make money on the tires.

They sell them the cheapest to sell more.

Question Guys!

I need some help with tyres here. Wife's new beetle gonna be here next month and she's getting 17s for the car, so obviously she'll need tyres. What would you recommend?

Model Noise Wear Price Grip TOTAL

RE001 2 2 1 2 7

KU31 3 3 3 2 11

KU36 2 1 2 3 8

595 SS 3 3 3 2 11

595 Evo 2 2 2 3 9

Size that I'm getting is 215/45/17 and judging from the price I've got here, KU31 (option1, cheapest) and SS (ERD, cheapest) are the best compromise between noise/price/wear. What are your thoughts?

KU31s or 595 evo. I have the KU31s on mine and they are extrememly good for the price.

Get the SS. I've got no complaints on mine. Brilliant everyday tyre.

I've driven on both the SS and KU31, the KU31 is much grippier. Can't comment on noise as I don't hear them over all the other rattles my car makes, or tyre wear as I haven't had the KU31s for long, but I'm much happier with the KU31 than the 595SS.

595 evos are meant to be better than the SS though.

Brandon... I'd recommend Linglongs.

LINGLONGS FTW!

+1 :)

535s are sh*t. don't even bother

further comments:

RE001s are probably a great tyre, but would be much more expensive yeah?

KU36s will probably wear pretty fast, since they are pretending to be a semi slick

I dont have a long term "project car" thats worth establishing the relation with any workshop for that matter so the best deal will definitely get my business.

Call option1 up, $132 each for both 595SS and KU31, fitted.

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
