Hey Guys, looking to purchase some new tyres very soon but im not too sure what to get. Was set on the KU31's since I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus they are very cheap. I have however heard they are noisy?? Apparently they KU19 is much quieter however its also a softer compound and therefore wont last as long...So I've heard.

Car is a daily and I need the tyres to last long. Hoping for like 30K. Anyone have personal experience with both tyres that can give a comparison?

Cheers guys

Hey mate, I'm looking for the exact same thing at the moment, where are you getting them cheap as they don't look that cheap on their website???

I'm after tyres for stock R34 gtr rims and was thinkin of 265/35/18 as the stock 245/40/18 don't cover the full width of the rim properly...

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
