I got my 275/35/18 Kumhu KU36s (pair) fitted for less than $550.

I doubt 265's would cost much more.

Dirt cheap, and a cool place to hang out whilst they change them.

What you think of the KU36's.....Handling in the wet/dry?

I did a fair bit of research before purchasing them. Basically they're the best bang for your buck tyre you can get. Great value.

However their semi slick pattern doesn't make them the best in the wet. I stomped the brakes in the wet recently though just to see how the performed and they're no worse than my last street tyres.

After reading a few reviews I think I'm steering towards the Kumho KU36's.

I guess most tyres get a bit slippery in the wet, just have to take a bit more care.

The main thing ive heard they are superb in the dry. Please correct me if im wrong.

go to tyrepower hawthorne and ask for mickey, and tell him hamish from SAU sent ya... he'll sort you out

you'll probably manage to get some ku36's

also

access auto's in vermont sell federal tyres with an SAU discount... they are pretty good on the prices for 595ss 's

Thanks Hamish, ended up speaking to Mickey @ "Tyrepower Hawthorn" helped me score a set of 265 KU36's to suit my budget! :yes:

Top guy i would recommend him to anyone. He knows his stuff & excellent with prices!

Thanks once again champ!

Terry.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
