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...

*nods*

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.

Like you always say, the best deal will get your business.

tight ass talk imo!

otherwise u will forever be running around looking for the best deals.

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

tight ass talk imo!

edit0- how much are they charging u a tyre?

4x Ku36 in 18/40/225 - $230ea. Got a slighlty better price from Option1 in person..

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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
